Software on JASMIN
JASMIN is a large platform where a range of software tools, packages and environments are available. Many users employ software already installed on JASMIN whilst some need to install their own tools for a particular purpose.
- Software available to all on JASMIN analysis/batch servers
- Additional tools for compiling and building software
- Restricted software
- Server-specific software
- Data movement software

Data analysis and visualisation tools
If you are looking for software packages and environments that allow you to analyse, process and visualise data then take a look at these options:
- Jaspy software environments (Python, R and other tools)
- The "jasmin-sci" software environment (packages not provided by Jaspy)
- Additional packages (provided under: "/apps/jasmin")
- IDL (and MIDL)
- Creating your own software environments
NOTE: If you are using Matplotlib to visualise data please refer to the advice on our Matplotlib help page.
