huygenspro - https://svi.nl/Huygens-Professional
hucore (command line interface) - https://svi.nl/Huygens-Core (This is the only command that will run in the CLI without needing a GUI/display)
essential - https://svi.nl/Huygens-Essential
huygensloc - https://svi.nl/Huygens-Localizer

Interactions GUI sessions are done via the Custom noVNC Image application in Open On Demand (OOD).
You can find out more about OOD here: Compute Quick Start.
The Docker Image field should be filled in with the information below.

ghcr.io/washu-it-ris/huygens:<tag>

Huygens Docker Tag

The <tag> will refer to the version of Huygens in the Docker container.

Fill out the rest of the fields with the appropriate information (explained in the quick start).
Launch the job through the methods described in the quick start.
Once in an interactive session use the following commands in the terminal, depending on which version you want.

License Information

If no trial license or purchased license available, software will run In freeware version.
Per SVI support team, manual login is required unless a node-locked license string is properly set up.
This functionality does not have a universal solution for the RIS community/cluster at this time.
To attempt this solution, license location should be mounted as follows:
- /path/to/huygens_license_folder/:/opt/huygens/huygensLicense
- where the license file is named huygensLicense

If you wish to use Huygens in an interactive command-line session, you can do so with the following commands.

> bsub -Is -a 'docker(ghcr.io/washu-it-ris/huygens:<tag>)' -q general-interactive /bin/bash

Once in the container, you can run the command line version of Huygens with the following command.

> hucore

Earlier versions are still available but no longer directly supported by RIS. Please refer to the latest version for direct support.
