For loading Easybuild by default, I would use a Lmod default collection.
Could you possibly offer a specific example of what you mean? Like a
complete script to put into /etc/profile.d/ ?
I'm afraid I don't have one. We don't load Easybuild by default for our
users. But you should take a look at:
https://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/070_standard_modules.html
Thanks, this page is actually useful and specific! So I've created a
new file /etc/profile.d/z01_EasyBuild.sh (to be loaded *after* Lmod's
z00_* scripts) with this content:
if [ -z "$__Init_Default_Modules" ]; then
export __Init_Default_Modules=1;
# module --initial_load restore
export EASYBUILD_MODULES_TOOL=Lmod
export EASYBUILD_PREFIX=/home/modules
module use $EASYBUILD_PREFIX/modules/all
module load EasyBuild
else
module refresh
fi
This seems to do what I want: Initialize EB with the specific usage of
Lmod and our EASYBUILD_PREFIX. N.B.: This is on CentOS 7.2.
The recommended line "module --initial_load restore" generates an
unwarranted message:
The system default contains no modules
(env var: LMOD_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_MODULES is empty)
No changes in loaded modules
so I got rid of it by commenting this line out.
Question: Does anyone see potential problems or bad side effects with
such a global setup of EB for all users?
The only thing we do is load Lmod itself (a symlink to init/bash in
/etc/profile.d).
Question: How do your users initialize the usage of EB?
