Installation of software packages within the Compute Canada software environment is always performed using scripts. We use multiple tools, including EasyBuild, Gentoo Overlays (starting in 2020), and NixOS (formerly). This software environment can be used on any compute in the world thanks to CVMFS.
We also track all changes or new installation made on the software environment through Git, and you can see a list of recent changes here:
