Getting Started
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Download
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Getting spack is easy. You can clone it from the `github repository
|
|
<https://github.com/scalability-llnl/spack>`_ using this command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:scalability-llnl/spack.git
|
|
|
|
This will create a directory called ``spack``. We'll assume that the
|
|
full path to this directory is in some environment called
|
|
``SPACK_HOME``. Add ``$SPACK_HOME/bin`` to your path and you're ready
|
|
to go:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=spack/bin:$PATH
|
|
$ spack install libelf
|
|
|
|
In general, most of your interactions with Spack will be through the
|
|
``spack`` command.
|
|

|
Install
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You don't need to install Spack; it's ready to run as soon as you
|
|
clone it from git.
|
|
|
|
You may want to run it out of a prefix other than the git repository
|
|
you cloned. The ``spack bootstrap`` command provides this
|
|
functionality. To install spack in a new directory, simply type:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
$ spack bootstrap /my/favorite/prefix
|
|
|
|
This will install a new spack script in /my/favorite/prefix/bin, which
|
|
you can use just like you would the regular spack script. Each copy
|
|
of spack installs packages into its own ``$PREFIX/opt`` directory.
