In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Spack on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing any new tool or package, it is always a good idea to update the existing system. To update the system, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
To install Spack, we need to install the dependencies required to build Spack. Below are the dependencies that need to be installed:
To install the dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt install -y build-essential git python3 python3-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev
Now that we have installed the dependencies, let's download and install Spack.
First, we need to clone the Spack repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the Spack directory:
cd spack
Next, we need to initialize Spack by running the following command:
. ./share/spack/setup-env.sh

To verify that Spack has been installed correctly, run the spack --version command. This command will display the version of Spack installed on the system:
spack --version
