Download the Lmod source code from its official website: https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/research-development/tacc-projects/lmod
Extract the downloaded tarball file in a desired location. For instance, let's assume the source code is extracted in /home/user/environment-modules-lmod/
.
Navigate to the extracted directory in Git Bash or a similar command-line interface.
Install MinGW by running the command mingw-get-setup.exe
from the MinGW website: http://www.mingw.org/
Install GCC using MinGW by running the command mingw32-make
in the terminal.
Run the command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
to configure the installation directory.
Run the command make install
to install Lmod.
Add the installation directory to your PATH environment by running the command export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lmod/$LMOD_VERSION/bin
where $LMOD_VERSION
is the version number of Lmod installed.
Verify the installation by running the command module avail
in the terminal. If the installation was successful, this command should display a list of available modules.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed environment-modules Lmod on Windows 10.
