Pawsey provides and maintains a number of prebuilt libraries and applications on Setonix, most of which are installed and managed through Spack. This page outlines how users can use Spack to install additional software or different builds of existing software that are not provided by Pawsey supported modules. |

Spack would normally download the source code for any packages that it needs to install. The source code for NAMD has a particular restriction that it cannot be downloaded by spack but must be obtained separately: | Column |

This can be addressed by first manually downloading the source tarball into your current directory where spack will detect it. |

Installing a software package from a user-modified source code
It is quite common for users to modify or patch the code of popular applications such as LAMMPS and Gromacs. You can use Spack to install the modified code as long as there exists a recipe for it (otherwise you can always create one). Here is an example on how to install a modified Gromacs source code.
First, we need a Spack recipe that takes a tar file from the current working directory rather than the Internet:
$ cp -r /software/setonix/2022.11/spack/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/gromacs $MYSOFTWARE/setonix/spack_repo/packages
Then open the file
$ vim $MYSOFTWARE/setonix/spack_repo/packages/gromacs/package.py
And replace the url property with the following line
$ url = "file://{0}/gromacs.5.1.2.tar.gz".format(os.getcwd())
Now you can use spack to install your custom version. You will need to tar your code as if it were an official distribution, but name the tar file with a non-official version, for instance gromacs.5.1.2custom.tar.gz. Then run the usual spack install command:
$ spack install gromacs@5.1.2custom
in the same directory of the tar file.
