How to guides

Checking out a specific version of a package

If you want to check out a specific branch, create new version, or edit an existing version of a package, you can use the spack edit <name of package> command, e.g

spack edit py-scifem

This will open the package.py file in your default editor, where you can make the necessary changes, for example say you want to check out a branch called feature-x you can add the following to the version section of the package.py file

version("X.Y.Z.dev0", branch="feature-x")

where X.Y.Z is the latest release, and then use spack add <name of package>@X.Y.Z.dev0, e.g spack add py-scifem@X.Y.Z.dev0 to add that specific branch to your spack environment. If you have an existing environment you can edit the config file using

spack config edit

Next run

spack concretize --fresh --force

and then

spack install -j <number of cores>
