@hipsterelectron Help me out. I'm supporting a small cluster with a few hundred cores and a few dozen GPU's. I want to give users access via lmod to maybe ten applications. @spack (or @easybuild since I'm in London) will install hundreds of modules so I think that overcomplicates things. What's the best way to install them?
