👋 Introduction
Windows and Ubuntu (Linux) Desktops are available in the HIC- TRE. Available software packages vary with each projects' requirements, though we are working on a standard set of packages that will be available to all researchers.In general we’ll and should be discussed during project initiation meetings with HIC. An importance consideration is the licensing implications if you are internal or external to the University of Dundee, e.g. Matlab is available for UoD researchers but not external TRE users.
We will consider requests for most open-source software packages as long as they have clear scriptable installation instructions. Commercial applications may be available depending on licensing, for example Matlab is available to University of Dundee researchers but not external researchers.Some packages can be installed by a researcher after they’ve created a workspace. A partial CRAN mirror for R is available, and additional packages can be request via a SUPPORT ticket. Longer term we will add a conda-forge mirror to support installation of Python packages by researchers, but this is not yet availableYou can raise a ticket with our HICSupport@dundee.ac.uk team who will triage and pass to our Infrastructure team who can review individual requires. Any decision made by us will reflect our secure management standards adherence to the Five Saves Framework and our accreditation, i.e. requests will be scrutinized for sensitive data and risk management.
🛠️ Available Software
Within our TRE, we have several “standard offerings” which require no additional infrastructure time to provision. If you require other software, some packages can be installed after you have created your workspace. You can install your own software using our secure access to restricted package repositories.
Examples of packages include:
...
A minority of software cannot be installed in the HIC-TRE as they are not designed to work in cloud based environments.
Researchers are strongly advised to discuss their requirements before starting a project.
