Analysts Documentation

This documentation is for people who just want to run the software on preconfigured machines.

Spack-Manager deploys software through modules. The Spack-Manager infrastructure is designed to create time-stamped snapshots. Typically this will be done by system-administrators, but anyone building software can create snapshot modules or custom modules that can be shared.

To use modules you need to add the location of the module files to your MODULEPATH environment variable. These are typically stored in the $SPACK_MANAGER/modules directory. You can execute the command

module use [path/to/modules]

to add the Spack generated modules to the list of available modules in your environment.

The location of these module files on the major machines are:
