0. Define local module command (only once)

To utilize local modules, we suggest creating a bash command such as localmod that contains essential setup within your $HOME/.bashrc. The provided set of commands below will create a local module directory based on LOCALMOD_DIR and then define the localmod command in your $HOME/.bashrc.

...

• Enable local module by executing the command defined in Step 0 → localmod

• Load EasyBuild → module load EasyBuild

• Check your current EasyBuild configuration → eb --show-config.
  The Note: the installpath should be set to a local directory that you have write permission.

...

• Execute eb -D --robot-paths=$(pwd) <the-eb-file>.eb to do a short dry run and check for dependencies.

  • If the command run successfully, it will display build status of the software’s dependencies.
    (You could ignore warning like WARNING: Failed to determine toolchain hierarchy for ...)

  • On the other hand, if you get ERROR: Missing dependencies: xxx/yyy-zzz, this means that the EasyConfig file of the library/software name xxx with version yyy using toolchain zzz is missing. You need to get the EasyConfig file for the dependency xxx/yyy-zzz by doing Step 2 and 3 again. That is, you also need to repeatedly do Step 2 and 3 for all unavailable dependencies required by the target software, and put them in the same directory.

• To install the software, execute

  Code Block
  language bash
  eb -r --robot-paths=$(pwd) --parallel=1 --trace --tmpdir=$(pwd) <the-eb-file>.eb
