Installing Modules on Unix ************************** This document is an overview of building and installing Modules on a Unix system. Requirements ============ Modules consists of one Tcl script so to run it from a user shell the only requirement is to have a working version of "tclsh" (version 8.5 or later) available on your system. "tclsh" is a part of Tcl (http://www.tcl-lang.org/software/tcltk/). To install Modules from a distribution tarball or a clone of the git repository, a build step is there to tailor the "modulecmd.tcl" and the initialization scripts to the chosen installation configuration and create the documentation files. This build step requires the tools to be found on your system: * bash * make * sed * runtest When also installing Modules Tcl extension library (enabled by default), these additional tools are needed: * grep * gcc * tcl-devel >= 8.5 When installing from a distribution tarball, documentation is pre- built and scripts to configure Modules Tcl extension library build are already generated. Thus no additional software is required. When installing from a clone of the git repository or from a git archive export, documentation and scripts to prepare for compilation have to be built and the following tools are required: * autoconf * automake * autopoint * python * sphinx >= 1.0 Get Modules =========== Modules can usually be installed with the package manager of your Unix system. It it is available by default on most Linux distributions, on OS X and FreeBSD either under the name of "modules" or "environment- modules". If you want to install Modules from sources, tarballs from all Modules' releases can be retrieved from one of the following link: * https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/releases/ * https://sourceforge.net/projects/modules/files/Modules/ For instance to download then unpack the last release of Modules: $ curl -LJO https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/releases/download/v5.3.0/modules-5.3.0.tar.gz $ tar xfz modules-5.3.0.tar.gz Installation instructions ========================= The simplest way to build and install Modules is: $ ./configure $ make $ make install Some explanation, step by step: 1. "cd" to the directory containing the package's source code. Your system must have the above requirements installed to properly build scripts, and documentation if build occurs from a clone of the git repository. 2. Type "./configure" to adapt the installation for your system. At this step you can choose the installation paths and the features you want to enable in the initialization scripts (see Build and installation options section below for a complete overview of the available options) 3. Type "make" to adapt scripts to the configuration, build Tcl extension library if enabled and build documentation if working from git repository. 4. Optionally, type "make test" to run the test suite. 5. Type "make install" to install modulecmd.tcl, initialization scripts and documentation. 6. Optionally, type "make testinstall" to run the installation test suite. 7. You can remove the built files from the source code directory by typing "make clean". To also remove the files that "configure" created, type "make distclean". A default installation process like described above will install Modules under "/usr/local/Modules". You can change this with the "-- prefix" option. By default, "/usr/local/Modules/modulefiles" will be setup as the default directory containing modulefiles. "-- modulefilesdir" option enables to change this directory location. For example: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/Modules \ --modulefilesdir=/etc/modulefiles See Build and installation options section to discover all "./configure" option available. Note: GNU Make is excepted to be used for this build and installation process. On non-Linux systems, the "gmake" should be called instead of "make". Configuration ============= Once installed you should review and adapt the configuration to make it fit your needs. The following steps are provided for example. They are not necessarily mandatory as it depends of the kind of setup you want to achieve. 1. Enable Modules initialization at shell startup. An easy way to get module function defined and its associated configuration setup at shell startup is to make the initialization scripts part of the system-wide environment setup in "/etc/profile.d". To do so, make a link in this directory to the profile scripts that can be found in your Modules installation init directory: $ ln -s PREFIX/init/profile.sh /etc/profile.d/modules.sh $ ln -s PREFIX/init/profile.csh /etc/profile.d/modules.csh These profile scripts will automatically adapt to the kind of "sh" or "csh" shell you are running. Another approach may be to get the Modules initialization script sourced from the shell configuration startup file. For instance following line could be added to the end of the "~/.bashrc" file if running Bash shell: source PREFIX/init/bash Beware that shells have multiple ways to initialize depending if they are a login shell or not and if they are launched in interactive mode or not. 2. Define module paths to enable by default. Edit "initrc" configuration file in the directory designated by the "--etcdir" option or edit "modulespath" in the same directory. If you use "modulespath" configuration file, add one line mentioning each modulefile directory: /path/to/regular/modulefiles /path/to/other/modulefiles If you use "initrc" configuration file, add one line mentioning each modulefile directory prefixed by the "module use" command: module use /path/to/regular/modulefiles module use /path/to/other/modulefiles In case both configuration files "initrc" and "modulespath" are present, Modules initialization process will first evaluate "modulespath" then "initrc". By default, the modulepaths specified on the "--with-modulepath" installation option are automatically defined for use in "initrc" (or in "modulespath" if the "--enable-modulespath" installation option has been set). Note: If you have set "--with-initconf-in" to "initdir" to install the Modules initialization configurations in the configuration directory designated by the "--initdir" option, the configuration files "initrc" and "modulespath" are respectively named "modulerc" and ".modulespath". 3. Define modulefiles to load by default. Edit "initrc" configuration file. Modulefiles to load cannot be specified in "modulespath" file. Add there all the modulefiles you want to load by default at Modules initialization time. Add one line mentioning each modulefile to load prefixed by the "module load" command: module load foo module load bar By default, the modules specified on the "--with-loadedmodules" installation option are automatically defined for load in "initrc". Alternatively, if users have module collections saved in their "HOME" directory, you may prefer restoring their default collection when Modules initializes rather loading the default module list: if {[is-saved default]} { module restore } else { module load foo module load bar } In fact you can add to the "initrc" configuration file any kind of supported module command, like "module config" commands to tune **module**'s default behaviors. This configuration way is recommended over directly modifying the shell initialization scripts. See the Configuration options section to discover all Modules "config" options available, their default value and the installation options linked to them. If you go through the above steps you should have a valid setup tuned to your needs. After that you still have to write modulefiles to get something to load and unload in your newly configured Modules setup. In case you want to achieve a specific setup, some additional steps may be required: 4. In case the configuration you expect cannot be achieved through the "initrc" configuration file, you may review and tune the initialization scripts. These files are located in the directory designated by the "--initdir" option. Beware that these scripts could be overwritten when upgrading to a newer version of Modules, so configuration should be done through the "initrc" file as far as possible. 5. If you want to alter the way the "modulecmd.tcl" script operates, the "siteconfig.tcl" script may be used. This Tcl file is located in the directory designated by the "--etcdir" option. Every time the **module** command is called, it executes the "modulecmd.tcl" script which in turns sources the "siteconfig.tcl" script during its startup phase. The site-specific configuration script could override default configuration values and more largely could supersede all procedures defined in "modulecmd.tcl" to obtain specific behaviors. 6. Prior running the module sub-command specified as argument, the "modulecmd.tcl" script evaluates the global run-command files. These files are either the "rc" file in the directory designated by the "--etcdir" option, the file designated in the "MODULERCFILE" environment variable or the user-specific RC file located in "$HOME/.modulerc". The RC files are modulefiles (limited to a subset of the modulefile Tcl commands) that could define global module aliases, virtual modules or module properties such as tags, forbidding rules, etc. Note: Run-command files are intended to set parameters for modulefiles, not to configure the **module** command itself. To learn more about siteconfig and run-command files, see the Modulecmd startup section in module reference manual. You may also look at the available setup recipes to get concrete deployment examples of these files. Build and installation options ============================== Options available at the "./configure" installation step are described below. These options enable to choose the installation paths and the features to enable or disable. You can also get a description of these options by typing "./configure --help". Fine tuning of the installation directories (the default value for each option is displayed within brackets): --bindir=DIR Directory for executables reachable by users ["PREFIX/bin"] --datarootdir=DIR Base directory to set the man and doc directories ["PREFIX/share"] --docdir=DIR Directory to host documentation other than man pages like README, license file, etc ["DATAROOTDIR/doc"] --etcdir=DIR Directory for the executable configuration scripts ["PREFIX/etc"] --initdir=DIR Directory for the per-shell environment initialization scripts ["PREFIX/init"] --libdir=DIR Directory for object code libraries like libtclenvmodules.so ["PREFIX/lib"] --libexecdir=DIR Directory for executables called by other executables like modulecmd.tcl ["PREFIX/libexec"] --mandir=DIR Directory to host man pages ["DATAROOTDIR/man"] --modulefilesdir=DIR Directory of main modulefiles also called system modulefiles ["PREFIX/modulefiles"] --nagelfardatadir=DIR Directory to host Nagelfar linter addon files ["DATAROOTDIR/nagelfar"] --prefix=PREFIX Installation root directory ["/usr/local/Modules"] --vimdatadir=DIR Directory to host Vim addon files ["DATAROOTDIR/vim/vimfiles"] Optional Features (the default for each option is displayed within parenthesis, to disable an option replace "enable" by "disable" for instance "--disable-set-manpath"): --enable-advanced-version-spec Activate the advanced module version specifiers which enables to finely select module versions by specifying after the module name a version constraint prefixed by the "@" character. This option also allows to specify module variants. (default=yes) This installation option defines the default value of the "advanced_version_spec" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-append-binpath Append rather prepend binary directory to the PATH environment variable when the "--enable-set-binpath" option is enabled. (default=no) --enable-append-manpath Append rather prepend man page directory to the MANPATH environment variable when the "--enable-set-manpath" option is enabled.

(default=yes) This installation option defines the default value of the "color" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-doc-install Install the documentation files in the documentation directory defined with the "--docdir" option. This feature has no impact on manual pages installation. Disabling documentation file installation is useful in case of installation process handled via a package manager which handles by itself the installation of this kind of documents. (default=yes) --enable-example-modulefiles Install some modulefiles provided as example in the system modulefiles directory defined with the "--modulefilesdir" option. (default=yes) --enable-extended-default Allow to specify module versions by their starting part, i.e. substring separated from the rest of the version string by a "." character.

(default=yes) --enable-mcookie-version-check Enable check of the version specified right after Modules magic cookie (i.e., "#%Module" file signature) in modulefiles, which defines the minimal version of the Modules tool to use in order to evaluate the modulefile. (default=yes) This installation option defines the default value of the "mcookie_version_check" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-ml Define the **ml** command, a handy frontend to the module command, when Modules initializes. (default=yes) This installation option defines the default value of the "ml" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-modulespath, --enable-dotmodulespath Set the module paths defined by "--with-modulepath" option in a "modulespath" file (following C version fashion) within the initialization directory defined by the "--etcdir" option rather than within the "initrc" file. Or respectively, if option "--with- initconf-in" has been set to "initdir", in a ".modulespath" file within the configuration directory defined by the "--initdir" option rather than within the "modulerc" file. (default=no) --enable-multilib-support Support multilib systems by looking in modulecmd.tcl at an alternative location where to find the Modules Tcl extension library depending on current machine architecture.

(default=yes) --enable-new-features Enable all new features that are disabled by default due to the substantial behavior changes they imply on Modules 5. This option does not enable other configuration option currently. (default=no) --enable-quarantine-support Generate code in module function definition to add support for the environment variable quarantine mechanism (default=no) This installation option defines the default value of the "quarantine_support" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-set-binpath Prepend binary directory defined by the "--bindir" option to the PATH environment variable in the shell initialization scripts. (default=yes) --enable-set-manpath Prepend man page directory defined by the "--mandir" option to the MANPATH environment variable in the shell initialization scripts. (default=yes) --enable-set-shell-startup Set when module function is defined the shell startup file to ensure that the module function is still defined in sub-shells. (default=no) This installation option defines the default value of the "set_shell_startup" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-silent-shell-debug-support Generate code in module function definition to add support for silencing shell debugging properties (default=no) This installation option defines the default value of the "silent_shell_debug" configuration option which could be changed after installation with the "config" sub-command. --enable-versioning Append Modules version to installation prefix and deploy a "versions" modulepath shared between all versioning enabled Modules installation. A modulefile corresponding to Modules version is added to the shared modulepath and enables to switch from one Modules version to another. (default=no) --enable-vim-addons Install the Vim addon files in the Vim addons directory defined with the "--vimdatadir" option. (default=yes) --enable-wa-277 Activate workaround for issue #277 related to Tcsh history mechanism which does not cope well with default module alias definition.

SGRLIST follows the same syntax than used in "LS_COLORS". Each element in SGRLIST is an output item associated to a Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) code. Elements in SGRLIST are separated by ":". Output items are designated by keys. Items able to be colorized are: highlighted element ("hi"), debug information ("db"), trace information ("tr") tag separator ("se"); Error ("er"), warning ("wa"), module error ("me") and info ("in") message prefixes; Modulepath ("mp"), directory ("di"), module alias ("al"), module variant ("va"), module symbolic version ("sy") and module "default" version ("de"). Module tags can also be colorized. The key to set in the color palette to get a graphical rendering of a tag is the tag name or the tag abbreviation if one is defined for tag. The SGR code applied to a tag name is ignored if an abbreviation is set for this tag thus the SGR code should be defined for this abbreviation to get a graphical rendering. Each basic tag has by default a key set in the color palette, based on its abbreviated string: auto-loaded ("aL"), forbidden ("F"), hidden and hidden-loaded ("H"), loaded ("L"), nearly-forbidden ("nF"), sticky ("S"), super-sticky ("sS") and keep-loaded ("kL").
