QGIS

Prerequisites​

To use QGIS you'll have to connect to Elja with xforwarding. To connect to Elja with xforwarding you can follow the instructions on our Visualisation 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
