Building the LFRic development environment with Spack

A working Spack installation is required for this - please follow the instructions in the Spack docs.

When Spack is installed, clone this Git repository and use Spack to add the package repo:

git clone https://github.com/UniExeterRSE/lfric-env
spack repo add lfric-env/repo

It's recommended to check the spec of the installation to ensure that the correct dependencies are being targetted. Once these are correct, install the environment:

spack spec lfric-env
spack install lfric-env

The environment can be loaded with spack load lfric-env. You are now ready to build LFRic!
