Thanks to the kind Lmod maintainer (Orion Poplawski) of the Fedora/EPEL
repository, the Lmod version in EPEL has been updated today from 6.6.3
to 7.8.16! Thanks also to the people who added to the Bugzilla request
shown below!
A modern version of Lmod has been a very long-standing wish from many
sites running CentOS/RHEL 7. No longer do sites need to build their own
locally customized up-to-date version of Lmod, if they are satisfied
with the EPEL version.
Instructions for installing Lmod from EPEL is in my Wiki:

Best regards,
Ole

On Centos 7 I installed EB using the system version of Lmod (6.6.3). I
have now installed Lmod 7.3 via its easyconfig. I now have the

We could always hope that the EPEL maintainers would eventually agree to my
request to update Lmod to 7.8 in EPEL, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651546
It might be beneficial if other sites would add arguments to my request in the
Bugzilla, hoping that its priority might be increased.
I have seconded your request.
Cheers,
Loris
