Installation using EasyBuild

We recommend using EasyBuild to build DIRAC on HCP systems.

If you or your cluster administrator are unfamiliar with it, we recommend following the installation and usage instructions provided on the EasyBuild website. Additionally, there is an instructive tutorial that can be used to configure it.

Once EasyBuild is installed on your system, as a user, you can install DIRAC employing, for example, the following commands:

$ module load EasyBuild/5.1.0
$ module use /path-to-your-modules-directory/software/modules/all
$ eb -r --buildpath=/your-build-directory/ --installpath=/path-to-your-modules-directory/software --repositorypath=/path-to-your-modules-directory/software/repository --sourcepath=/path-to-your-modules-directory/software/sources DIRAC-23.0-intel-2023a.eb

Once installed, you can use DIRAC simply by typing in your runfile, for example:

$ module load DIRAC/23.0-intel-2023a

and to run DIRAC you must use:

$ pam-dirac --inp=... --mol=... [...]

Current versions of DIRAC supported by EasyBuild can be found here and here.

However, if you still want to compile the program manually, you can follow the instructions provided in the Installation instructions for system administrators section.
