| - | ====== What is EasyBuild? ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | EasyBuild is a software build and installation framework that allows you to manage (scientific) software on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in an efficient way. It is motivated by the need for a tool that combines the following features: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * a flexible framework for building/installing (scientific) software | ||
| - | * fully automates software builds | ||
| - | * divert from the standard configure / make / make install with custom procedures | ||
| - | * allows for easily reproducing previous builds | ||
| - | * keep the software build recipes/specifications simple and human-readable | ||
| - | * supports co-existence of versions/builds via dedicated installation prefix and module files | ||
| - | * enables sharing with the HPC community (win-win situation) | ||
| - | * automagic dependency resolution | ||
| - | * retain logs for traceability of the build processes | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can see more information in the official project website: https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Requirement ====== | ||
| - | * Python: 2.6 or 2.7, or Python 3.x (>= 3.5). | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Only EasyBuild v4.0 (or newer) is compatible with Python 3, earlier EasyBuild releases require Python 2. | ||
| - | - only EasyBuild versions prior to v4.0 require vsc-base. See [[https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#required-python-packages-eb3|required Python packages for older EasyBuild versions]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | * modules tool: Tcl(/C) environment modules or Lmod, see [[https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#required-modules-tool|Required modules tool]] for more details. See too [[hpc:lmod|Install Lmod]] | ||
