| Software is generally built, installed, and accessed using the [[software:valet:valet|VALET]] system developed by Dr. Jeffrey Frey. VALET provides the ability to modify your environment without modifying your startup files like ''.bashrc'' and ''.bash_profile'' preventing jobs from failing by having a clean environment. | Software is generally built, installed, and accessed using the [[software:valet:valet|VALET]] system (not Modules but similar) developed by Dr. Jeffrey Frey. VALET provides the ability to modify your environment **without** modifying your startup files like ''.bashrc'' and ''.bash_profile'' as it prevents jobs from failing by keeping a clean login environment. |
