Software Installation Request

Researchers are strongly encouraged to install their own software on Quest. To learn more, please see Installing Software on Quest: https://kb.northwestern.edu/page.php?id=85199. Software should be installed in your home directory (for software used only by you) or your allocation’s projects directory (for software used by several people in your group). Use this form only if one of the following applies: • installation requires root access to Quest in order to be installed • multiple groups express interest in creating a module for the software • you have encountered an issue while trying to install the software yourself Software installations performed by Research Computing Services are generally completed within 10 days. Installations requiring changes to the system libraries and/or installation of several dependency programs may take longer. Please note that in cases where the software is not compatible with the Quest operating system and architecture, software cannot be installed.
