Develop your own software

# Check if your package is already in Spack
user@login001:~> spack list $pkg_name # e.g opal

# Check the package variants you want to set e.g +cuda +openmp ^openmpi ...
user@login001:~> spack info $pkg_name # e.g opal

# Create your own env and load it
user@login001:~> spack env activate --create -p myenv

# Add the spec you want to build to your environement
user@login001:~> spack add $pkg_name@version +variant1 ^dep1@version ...

# e.g spack add opal@master%gcc@7.5.0 +mithra ~python ^openmpi@4.1.6 ^openblas

# Tell Spack you want to develop locally under
# /afs/psi.ch/sys/spack.x86_64_cos3.0/user/$USER/spack-environment/$pkg_name
user@login001:~> spack develop $pkg_name@version

# Install the package locally
user@login001:~> spack install # first time, then you can just use make directly

# Load your package
user@login001:~> spack load $pkg_name@version +variant1 ^dep1@version1

# Submit your script
