Cannot find the application you are looking for?

We provide a comprehensive selection of pre-installed scientific software and HPC libraries on CSC supercomputers. Still, sometimes an application you'd need might be missing. Here's how to proceed:

1. It is possible to install software on CSC supercomputers by yourself. Please consider this as the first option. See the general instructions, and multiple tutorials for different code types. If you get stuck, CSC Service Desk is happy to support you in installing software yourself.
2. You may also contact CSC Service Desk with your software installation request. Given enough requests, we may consider pre-installing a particular application, or purchasing a license for it if the software in question is proprietary. However, please note that we cannot promise to pre-install all requested applications as we have thousands of users and a limited software budget.
