# Package Management Slurm solves problems 1. and 2., but we're still left with problem 3. managing packages on our cluster when the needs of our users vary in different, and sometimes contradictory ways. There are three main methods by which this problem is tackled on Luria: * Environment modules * Conda environments * Containerization We'll discuss the first two methods, then come back to containerization a bit later, as it is a much more complex topic. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://igb.mit.edu/mini-courses/advanced-utilization-of-igb-computational-resources/package-management.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
