$ module list
try on your machine

The command "module list" is used to display the currently loaded modules in a system.

In computing environments, modules are collections of files and settings that define a specific software package or tool. These modules can be loaded or unloaded dynamically to provide access to different software or versions.

When you execute the "module list" command, it displays a list of modules that are currently loaded in the system. This list typically includes the names or identifiers of the loaded modules, which can provide information about the software packages or tools available for use.

By using this command, users can check which modules are currently active and accessible in their computing environment. This knowledge helps users understand the software resources available to them and can be essential for managing dependencies and using specific software versions when needed.
