|
||
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs
|
||
multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux,
|
||
macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a
|
||
new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many
|
||
configurations of the same package can coexist.
|
||
|
||
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions
|
||
and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and
|
||
specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different
|
||
builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software
|
||
*all* the ways you want to.
|
||
|
||
See the
|
||
[Feature Overview](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features.html)
|
||
for examples and highlights.
|
||
|
||
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python.
|
||
Then:
|
||
|
||
$ git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git
|
||
$ cd spack/bin
|
||
$ ./spack install zlib
|
||
|
||
Documentation
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
[**Full documentation**](https://spack.readthedocs.io/) is available, or
|
||
run `spack help` or `spack help --all`.
|
||
|
||
For a cheat sheet on Spack syntax, run `spack help --spec`.
|
||
|
||
Tutorial
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
We maintain a
|
||
[**hands-on tutorial**](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html).
|
||
It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC
|
||
deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a
|
||
Docker container.
|
||
|
||
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization
|
||
about Spack.

Contributing
|
||
------------------------
|
||
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
|
||
[pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
|
||
When you send your request, make ``develop`` the destination branch on the
|
||
[Spack repository](https://github.com/spack/spack).
|
||
|
||
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be
|
||
[PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) compliant. We enforce
|
||
these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for
|
||
helpful tips on git, see our
|
||
[Contribution Guide](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribution_guide.html).
|
||
|
||
Spack's `develop` branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
|
||
should target `develop`, and users who want the latest package versions,
|
||
features, etc. can use `develop`.
|
||
|
||
Releases
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable
|
||
software installations, we recommend using Spack's
|
||
[stable releases](https://github.com/spack/spack/releases).
|
||
|
||
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
|
||
`releases/v0.14` has `0.14.x` versions of Spack, and `releases/v0.13` has
|
||
`0.13.x` versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
|
||
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
|
||
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
|
||
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and `git pull`
|
||
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with `develop`.
|
||
|
||
The latest release is always available with the `releases/latest` tag.
|
||
|
||
See the [docs on releases](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide.html#releases)
|
||
for more details.
