In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Spack on OpenSUSE Latest. Spack (https://spack.io/) is a powerful package manager for scientific computing that enables reproducible builds and provides flexibility to manage different versions of packages.
Before installing Spack, it's essential to ensure that your system is updated with the latest packages. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

Once the required dependencies are installed, we can download and install Spack on your system. The following commands will download the latest version of Spack from the official repository and install it:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
sudo mv spack /opt/
echo ". /opt/spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
The above commands install Spack in the /opt/ directory and set up the environment variable setup-env.sh to run every time you open a new terminal.
To verify that Spack is installed correctly, run the following command:
spack --version
This command should display the version of Spack installed on your system.
