Note
For a custom installation, the attempt to add a module for R, Python or Julia will initially result in an error message if an installation target is not specified. The interpreter will try to install it in /pbs/software, which is not writable by users. On the second try, the interpreter will install it correctly in the user’s directory (which is recommended, for modules other than those usually installed).
It is possible to define the installation target by adding it as an environment variable.
Please find below more detailed information about the module command.
