Modulefiles

The Modules package is a tool that simplifies shell initialization and lets users easily modify their environment during a session using modulefiles.

Installing Modules on Unix

sudo apt install tcl8.6-dev # 8.5 >= version
./configure --prefix=/usr/share/Modules \
            --modulefilesdir=/etc/modulefiles
make
make install
ln -s PREFIX/init/profile.sh /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
ln -s PREFIX/init/profile.csh /etc/profile.d/modules.csh
