Attention

Following the recent operating system upgrade, software listings and module load commands now reflect the upgraded system. Some examples and notices are still being updated and may contain outdated guidance.

OpenGL

Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.

This module is a bundle of software required for OpenGL rendering. It provides Mesa as an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification with software rendering and AMD GPU support, libglvnd for a vendor neutral dispatch layer for rendering with both NVIDIA GPUs & Mesa, Mesa-demos for sample applications, and GLU as an computer graphics library utilizing OpenGL.

Note

This is an autogenerated page, more detail including examples may be available for this package. Please see the first section of Software on Stanage

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

srun --pty bash -i

A version of OpenGL can then be made available with one of the following:

module load OpenGL/2025.09-GCCcore-14.3.0

Notes

OpenGL was installed using Easybuild, build details can be found in $EBROOTOPENGL/easybuild with a given module loaded.
