I agree with Andy, that it's best to view this as 2 separate tasks (cluster
setup/management + slurm development).
For your cluster setup, you could use Qlustar which will allow you to
easily setup a ready to run virtual demo cluster incl. a functioning
slurm and OpenMPI in about 30 min (no exaggeration, just follow
https://www.qlustar.com/book/docs/install-guide
and https://www.qlustar.com/book/docs/first-steps).
The Qlustar Basic Edition is free for academic usage and has everything
needed for your use case.
Once setup, you have all the tools of Ubuntu or Debian at your
finger-tips to jump into development.
Good luck,
Roland
