EasyBuild is a powerful and flexible software installation framework for HPC clusters, that allows you to install and manage software on your system. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install EasyBuild on macOS.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS that allows you to easily install and manage software packages from the command line. To install Homebrew, open the terminal and run the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to update Homebrew:
brew update
Now that we have installed Homebrew, we can use it to install EasyBuild. To do this, run the following commands in your terminal:
brew install easybuild
This will install the latest version of EasyBuild and all its dependencies.
To confirm that EasyBuild has been installed correctly, run the following command:
