Agreed, I have just been setting up Lmod on a national compute cluster where I am a non-privileged cluster and on an internal cluster where I have full rights. It works very well, and Lmod can read theTcl module files also. The most recent version has some extra features specially for Slurm. An I use EasyBuild, saves hundreds of hours of effort. I do quite often have to hand create simple module files for software with no EasyConfig but I can just copy the structure from module files created by EasyBuild so it has never been a great problem.
The best bit of modules is being able to offer multiple conflicting versions of software like Java, Perl, R etc. William On Sat, 23 Nov 2019 at 03:57, Chris Samuel <ch...@csamuel.org> wrote: > On 22/11/19 9:37 am, Mariano.Maluf wrote: > > > The cluster is operational but I need to install and configure > > environment modules. > > If you use Easybuild to install your HPC software then it can take care > of the modules too for you.
