editors¶

Provides text editors and useful command line tools, mounted at /user-tools.

Warning

The image has to be mounted at /user-tools, not the default /user-environment location. If loading the image alone, explicitly mount it at the right location

# if using v5 or lower uenv explicitly provide the mount point
> uenv start editors:/user-tools --view=ed

# if using v6 or later uenv the mount point is automatically inferred
> uenv start editors --view=ed

If loading the image alongside another (in this example we use the modules view, see below):

# if using v5 or lower uenv:
> uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.7:v3 editors --view=editors:modules

# if using v6 or later uenv:
> uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.7:v3,editors --view=editors:modules

packages¶

Text editors:

emacs
nano
neovim
vim

Useful command line tools:

fd
direnv
lazygit
node-js
ripgrep
screen
tree-sitter

Compilers and languages:

lua
python
go
rust

interfaces¶

The uenv provides both a view called ed that will make all of the tools available. For example:

> uenv start editors:/user-tools --view=ed
loading the view editors:ed
> which nvim
/user-tools/env/ed/bin/nvim
> which emacs
/user-tools/env/ed/bin/emacs
> which fd
/user-tools/env/ed/bin/fd

Alternatively, the modules interface can be used to load individual tools:

> uenv start editors:/user-tools --view=modules
loading the view editors:ed
> module avail

----------------- /user-tools/modules ------------------

   gcc       nano       ripgrep    vim

> module load screen
> screen --version

releases¶

24.7¶

v1: did not provide neovim
v2: same as v1 with neovim added (fixed a libtool bug that caused an error when building the libvterm dependency of neovim)

systems¶

The uenv is designed for deployment on all vClusters - it does not have any GPU-specific code and all of the tools it provides can be built on x86 and ARM CPUs.

To find which versions (if any) are available on your target system:
