The Jaynes research group is just beginning to use option _2_ with tentative success. A group-wide `bashrc` defines a command `activate` which finds the appropriate `venv` environment in a group shared directory.

Another problem is with the newest version of Python supported on each platform. (By "supported", I mean available through the standard system software maintenance utilities.) For example, the newest supported Python version on the Rocky 8 servers is 3.9, while, currently, the newest supported version on the Rocky 9 systems is 3.12. This means that if your application requires something above 3.9, then you will have to login to one of the Rocky 9 systems explicitly.

The initial experiments being implemented for the Jaynes research group involve a Bash function defined in a group shared `bashrc` that defines an `activate` command which looks for available `venv` environments stored in a shared location. See the [discussion](https://research-git.uiowa.edu/space-physics/doc/-/issues/6) for details. Currently, the command `activate aurorax` sets up the group shared environment for working with pyaurorax.
