environment-modules - Provides dynamic modification of a user's environment
- Description:
The Environment Modules package provides for the dynamic modification
of a user's environment via modulefiles.
Each modulefile contains the information needed to configure the
shell for an application. Once the Modules package is initialized,
the environment can be modified on a per-module basis using the
module command which interprets modulefiles. Typically modulefiles
instruct the module command to alter or set shell environment
variables such as PATH, MANPATH, etc. modulefiles may be shared by
many users on a system and users may have their own collection to
supplement or replace the shared modulefiles.
Modules can be loaded and unloaded dynamically and atomically, in an
clean fashion. All popular shells are supported, including bash, ksh,
zsh, sh, csh, tcsh, as well as some scripting languages such as perl.
Modules are useful in managing different versions of applications.
Modules can also be bundled into metamodules that will load an entire
suite of different applications.
NOTE: You will need to get a new shell after installing this package
to have access to the module alias.
