how to correctly install module?

[jiaqiwang969]

Hi, I am fresh.
when I install module, and install singularity-hpc step by step.
I try:

shpc install ghcr.io/autamus/clingo
module use ./modules/
module avail

as been told.
However, only the default "modulefiles", not the modulefile in singualarity-hpc, where clingo is installed here.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong, how to set module?

Thanks, best

Can you share the module software you are using and the version? Pinging @marcodelapierre that has a lot more experience to add to the conversation!

Latest singularity-hpc version
env:ubuntu:20.04

wjq@wjq:~$ module --version
Modules Release 4.2.4 (2019-04-26)
wjq@wjq:~$ singularity --version
singularity-ce version 3.9.7-bionic

May be I am not have set

shpc config set module_sys tcl
shpc config set container_base xxx/images
shpc config set module_base xxx/modules

Anyway, when I use "pip3 install singularity-hpc", and set avove config, it works.
Maybe, there is a suggestion for new, to easy use it, by seting the default.
thanks

That's correct, you'd need to set it for the correct module system first, and then install, and then do the steps above. Are you all set and we can close the issue?

Yes, thanks

Hi, there still some bugs, as follows:

(env) wjq@wjq:~/singularity-hpc$ module avail

----------------------------------------------------------- ./modules ------------------------------------------------------------
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/99-shpc.sh
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-container
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-exec
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-inspect-deffile
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-inspect-runscript
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-run
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/bin/openfoam-shell (D)
quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/module

(env) wjq@wjq:~/singularity-hpc$ module load quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212
Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown: "quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212"

Please check the spelling or version number. Also try "module spider ..."

This looks like a bug @georgiastuart had hit - and I think we figured out - ping @georgiastuart and @marcodelapierre !

[georgiastuart]

It was related to the (old) version of lmod Ubuntu has in apt. @jiaqiwang969 what version of lmod do you have?

I think it is not a bug, with that setup you need to type (see exact output of module avail):

module load quay.io/pawsey/openfoam/v2212/module

However, if you make use of a module view, https://singularity-hpc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/user-guide.html#views, you should be able to achieve a setup that works with:

module load openfoam/v2212

As a result of the view setup, note that you will need to module use a different directory.

Yeah, this is a lmod out of date problem!

Lmod is currently on version 8.7. This looks like the version apt has on 22.04 LTS. I'd recommend installing a newer version, not through apt, and seeing if that sorts out your issue.

@jiaqiwang969 were you able to update your LMOD version and resolve this issue?
