Q: I'm not using an LWP, but I want/need software X (e.g. MatLab).

A: Use the LWP.

Alternative

Some software that is available on the LWP but not on Linux in general comes from the NFS share /opt/netapps that we offer. You can create the directory /opt/netapps on your own PC and put this line in /etc/fstab: 

 129.125.36.111:/netapps  /opt/netapps nfs4 defaults,ro,async,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,clientaddr=129.125.14.122 0 0

Then mount it (sudo mount -a), and add /opt/netapps/bin to your path.

Now you can use the software (type 'matlab' in a shell).

If you want to access the software offline, copy it to your own /opt/netapps instead of mounting. You can also do this for performance reasons (speed), although the gain is often negligible.

Licenses

Licensed software uses online license management servers. If you take the software outside of the RuG network (e.g. on a laptop), you 'll have to arrange for a personal license. You 've reached the edge of our service.
