I was able to get ood instaled with a great deal of help from Jeff yesterday. I was ale able to get a trial version of mathematica installed and running today. How can I add mathematica to ood for launching jobs or just have it available period. When I login using my test user for ood, I see the following menu items: files, jobs, clusters, interactive apps, and my interactive sessions”

The docs page you need for this sits here: [Interactive Apps — Open OnDemand 4.0.0 documentation](https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/how-tos/app-development/interactive.html)

You’ll also likely want some examples to work off of as well: [GitHub - OSC/bc\_osc\_mathematica: Mathematica web app](https://github.com/OSC/bc_osc_mathematica)

And there’s some other pages that may come in handy to understand some of the ERB in the code: [Render Template — Open OnDemand 4.0.0 documentation](https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/how-tos/app-development/interactive/template.html#erb-objects)

Thanks Travis. I THINK I was able to get the cluster info setup, but I am getting an error when clicking on “Clusters” on the ood page:

-–  
V2:  
metadata:  
title: “gig”  
login:  
host: “wontforget”  
job:  
adapter: “slurm”  
cluster: gig  
bin: /usr/bin  
conf: /etc/slurm

# bin\_overrides:

```auto
sbatch: "/usr/bin/sbatch" 
squeue: "/usr/bin/squeue" 
# scontrol: "/usr/bin/scontrol" 
# scancel: "/usr/bin/scancel" 
copy_environment: false

```

I will continue looking at the docs, especially the git info…
