About
-----

`LibSSH2`_ is a client-side C library implementing the SSH2 protocol. We rely on that library to provide up-to-day SSH2 implementation to a viariety of applications like :doc:`curl` and :doc:`julia`.

.. note:: Each login and compute node has a baseline installation of libssh2. The package collection maintained by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 includes it. Unfortunately, the version of the baseline linssh2 installation is rather old, which requires installing the latest versions in the software repository of Discoverer.

Supported versions
------------------

To check which libssh2 versions and build types are currently supported on Discoverer, execute on the login node:

.. code-block:: bash

 module avail libssh2

The recipe followed to build the source code is available at:

https://gitlab.discoverer.bg/vkolev/recipes/-/tree/main/libssh2

Loading
-------

.. code-block:: bash

 module load libssh2/1/latest
