Dear Alexei,
There is a long discussion about this use case in
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/issues/2143 and how to do
it.
In a hierarchical scheme you would have to rebuild any modules you have that
extend the path setting (with EASYBUILD_SUBDIR_USER_MODULES set). You also need
to tell EasyBuild to look in both module trees, I did this with an alias in a
dedicated lua module:
set_alias("eb","env
MODULEPATH=".."/path/to/global/module/tree/ending/in/modules/all"..':$MODULEPATH
eb')
Kind regards,
Alan

Hello all,
We are looking into allowing users on our cluster to build modules with
easybuild into their local directories.
However, it would be optimal if dependencies would be resolved against the
global installationdirectory that we use.
That is, it seems that when installing to a new directory, you need to build
all dependencies again in this tree.
I'm thinking it will take up alot of unnecessary space if every user needs to
build every dependency separately.
Is there a way to achieve what we're looking for?
Best regards,
Alexi Rivera
