+## Overview of basic module commands {: #module_cmds_overview }
+
+In case you are not familiar with using modules, here is a simple cheatsheet of most common module commands used in combination with Easybuild:
+
+*`module avail`* - list the modules that are currently available to load
+
+*`module load foss/2022a`* - load the module `foss/2022a`
+
+*`module list`* - list currently loaded modules
+
+*`module show foss/2022a`* - see contents of the module `foss/2022a` (shows the module functions instead of executing them)
+
+*`module unload foss/2022a`* - unload the module `foss/2022a`
+
+*`module purge`* - unload all currently loaded modules
