Installation by HPC Users

Users can easily install mkmod in their user space. Just get mkmod from the TACC repo with a git command, set INSTALL_DIR to an install directory and execute make. The makefile uses the installed mkmod to create and install a my_mkmod modulefile. Setting INSTALL_DIR is optional, default installation is the present working directory. See the INSTALL text file in the mkmod directory for the specifics of the install commands.

Any user-owned build and install directory are fine. Directories build and apps are used below in this example of installation commands:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/build  $HOME/apps
$ cd       $HOME/build

$ git    clone https://github.com/tacc/mkmod
$ cd     mkmod

$ export INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/apps
$ make   user #uses itself to install & create a my_mkmod modulefile

$ module load my_mkmod  # do after logout and login,
                        # to execute startup scripts
