QGIS

Prerequisites

To use QGIS, you need to connect to Elja with X-forwarding. To connect to Elja with X-forwarding, you can follow the instructions in our Visualization chapter here.

Required Libraries

Two libraries are needed to use QGIS. They are /hpcapps/lib-edda/modules/all/Core and /hpcapps/lib-geo/modules/all. To load them, simply type in the following commands:

[user@elja-irhpc ~]$ ml use /hpcapps/lib-edda/modules/all/Core
[user@elja-irhpc ~]$ ml use /hpcapps/lib-geo/modules/all/

Run QGIS:

Now load the QGIS library and connect to a compute-node with srun:

[user@elja-irhpc ~]$ ml load QGIS # load QGIS 
[user@elja-irhpc ~]$ srun -n 1 --partition gpu-1xA100 --x11 --pty bash
[user@gpu-2 ~]$ qgis # QGIS now opens up on my local machine
