 ===== Environment Modules =====
-More information about //Environment Modules// can be found in the [[http://modules.sourceforge.net/ | Environment Modules Project Homepage]].
+Several compilers and libraries are installed, but not all of them could be used in the same environment because of conflicts (e.g. different versions of the same compiler or different implementations of the same library). The //Environment Modules//, just changing environment variables such us //$PATH// and //$LD_LIBRARY_PATH//, is able to "load" and "unload" different software components.
+To load a module you can just type:
+<code>module load my_module_name</code>
+while to remove a module you can just type:
+<code>module remove my_module_name</code>
