To be clear, the EasyBuild hook would be a parser hook that would inject something like `categories=['Tools','Develop']` into the easyconfig instance. With support for `categories` in EasyBuild, this would result in `whatis("Category: Tools, Develop")` being injected into the final module file (which is something that _only_ Lmod understands right now). Sorry, if I might have overlooked it, but I would be very interested to have a look at the lmod – hook you implemented for the lmod subcategories. Could you please share a link, if it’s ‘git-able’? I sent a link to the Lmod hook already, but just in case https://gist.github.com/ocaisa/3a72804123923fbd753c1cae12261d9c (requires Lmod 8.7.14, and modules that already include some `Category`ies). One thing about the EB installation for plain HMNS. The module method to install EB instead of utilizing pip is perfectly fine? (as long as the environment is set-up correctly) Yes, that's fine. There's no link between how EB was installed and what module naming scheme you want to use.

Plain HMNS is much more widely used and I'd say a better choice. Additionally there's a new feature in Lmod that just got released that allows us to define multiple categories inside a module file (EasyBuild currently only allows one "moduleclass"). I haven't added support for it yet in EB but it's something I want to look at really soon. The plan would be that you use an EB hook to inject the categories that you want for a piece of software (based off some mapping that you store). This would add the categories to the module file and then you use Lmod to search for software based on categories. You use `module cat` to see available categories, `module cat <category name>` to show software in a category and then `module spider <software name>` to see how to load (versions of) that software (including any gateway modules). You can also use Lmod hooks with categories, for example I can imagine wanting to hide modules of a certain category for users in certain groups. Personally, I've implemented an Lmod hook that allows me to have subcategories so I can implement a complete taxonomy.

We strongly recommend using an EasyBuild installation that was <https://easybuilders.github.io/easybuild-tutorial/2022-isc22/installation/#method-1-using-pip-recommended> installed via "pip install" or "pip3 install" in this part of the tutorial. . . .’ (in <https://easybuilders.github.io/easybuild-tutorial/2022-isc22/module_naming_schemes/> https://easybuilders.github.io/easybuild-tutorial/2022-isc22/module_naming_schemes/) Does the recommendation also apply to ‘production’ environments or is this only a didactical safety set-up to avoid the clashes resulting from eventually existing installation with flat namespace or other modules? My question is, can I use the module installation procedure for CategorizedHMNS builds without running into problems, as long as I follow the donts described in the page above ? Many thanks in advance. Cheers, -Frank Heckes
