Environment-Modules Lmod is a tool that helps manage the loading of module files in your computing environment. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Lmod on EndeavourOS Latest in markdown format.
Before installing Lmod, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
The first step is to install the required dependencies on your system. These dependencies include Lua, LuaRocks, GCC, and Git. You can install them using the following commands:
sudo pacman -S lua
sudo pacman -S luarocks
sudo pacman -S gcc
sudo pacman -S git
Next, download the Lmod tarball from the Lmod website using Git:
git clone https://github.com/TACC/Lmod.git
This will download the Lmod source code to your system.
After downloading Lmod, navigate to the Lmod directory and run the following command to install it:
sudo luarocks make --tree=/usr/local Lmod-8.4.4.1-1.rockspec
This command will install Lmod on your system.
After installing Lmod, you need to configure it to use the system-wide Lmod directory. To do this, open the /etc/profile file with a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/profile
Add the following line to the end of the file:
. /etc/profile.d/z00_lmod.sh
Save and exit the file.
To verify that Lmod has been installed correctly, run the following command in the terminal:
module avail
If Lmod is installed correctly, you will see a list of available modules on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Lmod on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use Lmod to manage module files on your system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
