resif | Revolutionary EasyBuild-based Software Installation

To install this script, you need to have some required packages installed on your computer:. That is enough to install and launch the script itself, but you still need to have the prerequisites for EasyBuild itself, in particular you will need a module tool (either environment-modules or Lmod). See the other pages of this documentation for more details about these tools and the installation instructions for Lmod.
python 2.6 or above
git
pip to install and uninstall the script (On Ubuntu, simply install the python-pip package.)
Simply use the following command:. You can now start using the command, see below for more information.
Clone the git repository:.
Let's just check that the installation has been done properly, try this command:.
Default behavior: To work properly, you have to load one of the LOADME files before using this command as the minimal requirements to use it are to have the EasyBuild module (the one which name ends with install- ) in the MODULEPATH and to know the of the given EasyBuild (which is also defined in the LOADME file). resif build will deploy the core software set describe in the $HOME/.resif/src/config/swsets.yaml file using the EasyBuild module mentioned above installed in the and will put them in the <rootinstall>/<swset>/modules directory. Note that in each case, if you don't have the rights to write in the directory in which the scripts try to deploy the softwares, it won't work. Moreover, to use the newly installed softwares, you will have to add their path to the MODULEPATH (the easiest way is to add <rootinstall>/<swset>/modules/all to the MODULEPATH).
