This is indeed the only way for now, the bootstrap script doesn't support specifying a particular version to install.

If there's enough demand for it, we could, but since you can just temporarily use the latest EasyBuild version to install an older version as Åke suggested, I don't see much value in it to be honest...

Without the bootstrap script, you could also just use 'easy_install' or 'pip install', both of which support specifying specific versions, but you wouldn't get an EasyBuild module to load then of course.

Hi all,

I'm familiar with the bootstrap script for EasyBuild and it does a very nice 
job when I want to get the latest and greatest EasyBuild deployed on a bare / 
plain vanilla server, but I cannot find an option to tell the bootstrap script 
to install a specific version... and sometimes this comes in handy when you 
want to reproduce an environment with the risk of running into new bugs or 
backwards incompatible features ;).

When deploying a tool with EasyBuild itself it's easy to request a specific 
version, but how do I do that for EasyBuild (when there is not already another 
EasyBuild on the system)?

Cheers,

Pieter
