Attention

GPU users: GPU nodes run EL9, while this documentation still reflects the EL7 software stack.

Run module avail on an EL9 login node, or within an interactive session on the relevant GPU type, to see the software available.

The documentation will be updated once all nodes have migrated to EL9.

PROJ

PROJ consists of programs and a library for managing cartographic projections.

Usage

After connecting to Stanage (see Establishing a SSH connection), start an interactive session with the following command:

srun --pty bash -i

Running one of the following:

module load PROJ/9.1.1-GCCcore-12.2.0
module load PROJ/9.0.0-GCCcore-11.3.0
module load PROJ/8.1.0-GCCcore-11.2.0
module load PROJ/7.2.1-GCCcore-10.2.0

will

  • add several PROJ programs to your PATH environment variable

  • allow other programs to make use of (dynamically link against) the PROJ library

  • activate a version of the GCC compiler (as its C++ standard library is required when using PROJ.X)

You can run proj to test that you are running the required version

$ proj
Rel. 9.1.1, December 1st, 2022
usage: proj [-bdeEfiIlmorsStTvVwW [args]] [+opt[=arg] ...] [file ...]

Documentation

Standard man pages are available for the provided commands/functions cs2cs, geod, proj, geodesic and pj_init.

These can be viewed using e.g.

$ man proj

This section is primarily for administrators of the system. PROJ has been installed using the default Easybuild config files.

Build logs and test reports can be found in $EBROOTPROJ/easybuild with a given module loaded.
