> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.virtual-flow.org/documentation-vf1/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.virtual-flow.org/documentation-vf1/installation/untitled-1.md). # Prerequisities Described on this site are the general prerequisites, which are required for all modules of VirtualFlow. But in addition, each module of VirtualFlow has individual prerequisites as described in the corresponding sections: * [VFLP - Installation - Prerequisites ](/documentation-vf1/vflp/installation/prerequisities.md) * [VFVS - Installation - Prerequisites ](/documentation-vf1/vfvs/installation/prerequisites.md) ## Linux Cluster with Batchsystem VFLP runs on Linux clusters which are managed by a batch system (resource manager), or cloud computing platforms on top of which a batch system is run. Out of the box, the following batch systems are supported: * SLURM * LSF * Moab/TORQUE * PBS * SGE Support for other batch systems can be added by simply creating a new batch system job template in the folder tools/templates/, and one can use one of the other templates as a template. ## BASH VFLP was only tested with BASH version 4.2 and higher, even though it might run with older versions as well. If the system BASH is older, than version 4.2, normally the system admins of the Linux cluster can make a newer version available. Alternatively, one can compile a recent version of BASH by oneself and install it locally (for instance in the home folder). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.virtual-flow.org/documentation-vf1/installation/untitled-1.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
