• One of the scientist requested us to add a new module known as muscle for amino acids alignment.
• Download muscle binaries, in /export/apps/, create muscle/ folder & in it create muscle_version_number in this case it would be 3.8.31.
• Copy over the binaries to /export/apps/muscle/muscle_version_number/ i.e. /export/apps/muscle/3.8.31/
• Clone hpc-environment-modules from github
• cd to hpc-environment-modules git repo & mkdir muscle, in it create the module file & name it the version number i.e. 3.8.31
• Commit & push to github
• Run ansible & limit to compute nodes & modules tag

ssh hpc
wget http://www.drive5.com/muscle/downloads3.8.31/muscle3.8.31_i86linux64.tar.gz
tar -xvf muscle3.8.31_i86linux64.tar.gz
sudo su -
mkdir -p /export/apps/muscle/3.8.31
cp muscle /export/apps/muscle/3.8.31/

• Clone environment modules & add a new module

git clone https://github.com/ilri/hpc-environment-modules.git
cd hpc-environment-modules/
mkdir muscle/
vim muscle/3.8.31

• Muscle module file

module-whatis "muscle is a program for creating multiple alignments of amino acid or nucleotide sequences"

# for TCL script use
set     version         3.8.31
set     appname         muscle
set     prefix          /export/apps/${appname}/${version}
set     exec_prefix     ${prefix}

prepend-path    PATH            ${exec_prefix}

• Deploy new module using ansible

ansible-playbook site.yml -i private/hosts --limit compute --tags=modules -u joguya -K

• Test to confirm success: do a module avail, module load muscle/3.8.31, muscle

module avail
module load muscle/3.8.31
module ls
muscle
module unload
