Spack is an open-source package manager originally designed for the HPC community, but it is now being used in a more general context as well. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Spack on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before starting with the installation of Spack, ensure that you have the following:
Update your system to the latest packages available:
sudo pacman -Syu
Spack requires some dependencies to be installed on your system before you can proceed with the installation. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S gcc git make
Download the latest version of Spack from the official website:
git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git ~/.spack
Configure Spack by adding the directory to your PATH variable:
echo "export PATH=$HOME/.spack/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
To test if Spack is installed correctly, run the following command:
spack version
This should output the version of Spack that you have installed.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the steps needed to install Spack on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use Spack to manage the installation of packages on your system.
