OK, thanks for the information. If the dependency on the exact version of Lmod is so volatile that documenting it explicitly would be a pain, perhaps the solution above could be mentioned as a general workaround for dependency problems. I think this would be handy as everyone running CentOS or similar will get bitten by this. However, I found the following information regarding a newer version of Lmod: https://lists.ugent.be/wws/arc/easybuild/2018-09/msg00030.html and will try out version 6.6.3.

Should it? We don't explicitly mention the required Lmod version in the documentation since that increases the risk of having outdated documentation when the version is bumped (like it was for EasyBuild v3.7.0). The version requirement will be slightly lowered again in the upcoming EasyBuild v3.7.1 btw, see https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2593. And you'll get the possibility to bypass the module version check entirely (at your own risk, of course), see https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2610 . For now, you can install previous version (EasyBuild v3.6.2) instead doesn't require Lmod 6.x yet (in fact, it'll still be happy with an ancient Lmod 5.x), as follows: EASYBUILD_BOOTSTRAP_FORCE_VERSION=3.6.2 python bootstrap_eb.py ... regards, Kenneth
[easybuild] EasyBuild requires Lmod >= v6.6.3
Hi, When tring to install via bootstrap_eb.py on CentOS 7 I get the following error: [[INFO]] EasyBuild bootstrap script (version 20180925.01, MD5: 4e568883f293f94ade46a14d25cb6b94) ... easybuild.tools.build_log.EasyBuildError: 'EasyBuild requires Lmod >= v6.6.3, found v6.5.1' The documentation doesn't mention this dependency. Should it? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
