Oscar: Macaulay 2

Loading and launching Macaulay 2

Once authenticated to Oscar, use the following commands at the command line.

1. Start an interactive job by using the interact command. This command can take additional parameters to extend the resources and time allotted to the node as well as the partition that the node operates on.

2. The Macaulay 2 module provides containers. To load them, use module load macaulay2-container/1.2-vupc5g (if running Oscar in PuTTY, pasting text is done by right-clicking).

3. To start the container use apptainer shell $MACAULAY2_CONTAINER.

4. Once inside the container's shell, use M2 to launch the Macaulay console.
