Lmod Manager

This tool manages Lmod modulefiles for various AdaCore software. The created modulefiles enable easy switching between different software versions. Lmod achieves that by dynamically changing the PATH environment variable.

Installation

$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/AdaCore/lmod_manager.git

Usage

A new software version can be installed using the install subcommand.

$ lmod_manager install spark-pro-22.1-x86_64-linux-bin.tar.gz

A corresponding modulefile will be automatically created.

$ module avail

   gnat/2021                     gnatpro/22.1                              sparkpro/21.1
   gnatpro/20.0                  gnatpro-arm-elf/22.0                      sparkpro/22.0
   gnatpro/20.1                  gnatpro-riscv32-elf/22.0                  sparkpro/22.1

To use or switch to a particular version, the corresponding module must be loaded.

$ module load sparkpro/22.1
