Hi Cormac, Maybe not really the answer you were looking for, but I just wanted to explain how we do this. We use environment variables for our easybuild user to pickup the file system locations and for the modules tool that should be used. This gives a bit more flexibility wrt to where stuff lands (you might want to rebuild whole module trees at some point or have testing and production trees, or flat vs hierarchical trees at some point). All the flags that `eb` takes can be used as environment variables. They follow a consistent scheme and generally work like this: To quote the output of running eb --help: All long option names can be passed as environment variables. Variable name is EASYBUILD_<LONGNAME> eg. --some-opt is same as setting EASYBUILD_SOME_OPT in the environment. We try to avoid using a non-vanilla config.cfg file and do everything with shell variables. best, P > I assume I can specify to use "Lmod" in the config.cfg file (Can someone send > me > an example?) > > Thanks, > Cormac. >
