5 Using Private Modules

It would be slightly different from other HPC platform, when we want to use our own module, we will have to

You will have three steps to go: - Install the software by making with binary files (note: ./configure --prefix=/home/path) - Make Private Module files inside the private module path $MODULEPATH - (export MODULEPATH=$HOME/privatemodules:$MODULEPATH) - Private Module file format could be found in the following example - Module load as ususal: `module load package/version_num ## Example of python 3.10

• Install python 3.10 from official website (skip)

• Configure HPC (just do it once)
• vim .bashrc
• add export MODULEPATH=$HOME/privatemodules:$MODULEPATH

• source .bashrc

• Add ~/privatemodules/python/3.10

  #%Module########################################################################
  #
  # python 3.10.4 module file
  
  proc ModulesHelp { } {
      puts stderr "\tAdds python 3.10.4 to your environment"
  }
  
  module-whatis "Loads Python 3.10.4"
  
  prepend-path PATH ~/src/bin
  prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/src/lib
  prepend-path C_INCLUDE_PATH ~/src/include
  prepend-path PKG_CONFIG_PATH ~/src/lib/pkgconfig
  prepend-path MANPATH ~/src/share/man
  prepend-path PYTHONPATH ~/src/lib/python3.10

• Module load: module load python/3.10

Now it is really to go :)
