You can refer to the spectre installation instructions . Here is what Guillermo has tried.

Git clone on your home (sub)directory:

git clone git@github.com:sxs-collaboration/spectre.git

In the spectre home directory create a python environment (Note that the name 'env' is ignored by git, so its convenient to name the environment like this)

cd [spectre_home]/
python -m venv env

Activate the environment

source env/bin/activate

And pip install the required python packages summarized in the support/ subdirectory:

pip install -r support/Python/requirements.txt -r support/Python/dev_requirements.txt

Load the necessary modules (Can put this in a script to avoid doing it everytime):

module purge
module load gcc/11
module load openmpi/4
module load boost/1.79
module load gsl/1.16
module load cmake/3.22
module load hdf5-serial/1.12.2
module load anaconda/3/2021.11

Guillermo has already installed Charm and the remaining modules in an Spack environment (Please ask if you don't have access):

source /u/guilara/repos/spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
spack env activate env3_spectre

Define the charm paths and spectre home

export CHARM_ROOT=/u/guilara/charm/mpi-linux-x86_64-smp-gcc
export PATH=$PATH:/u/guilara/charm/mpi-linux-x86_64-smp-gcc/bin
export SPECTRE_HOME=/u/[your_username]/path/to/spectre

Activate the python environment (if you haven't already)

source $SPECTRE_HOME/env/bin/activate

In the spectre home directory make a build directory

cd $SPECTRE_HOME
mkdir build

Run cmake:

cd $SPECTRE_HOME/build/

cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -D CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=gfortran -D CHARM_ROOT=$CHARM_ROOT -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D DEBUG_SYMBOLS=OFF -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -D MEMORY_ALLOCATOR=JEMALLOC -D BUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -D Python_EXECUTABLE=$SPECTRE_HOME/env/bin/python -Wno-dev "$@" $SPECTRE_HOME

Build and executable

cd $SPECTRE_HOME/build/
make -j16 [Executable_name]

For example, to make the unit tests:

make -j16 unit-tests

And to run them:

ctest -R Unit -j16

Submit a job:

sbatch submit_script.sh

Here is an example submit scirpt (submit_script.sh):

#!/bin/bash -l
# Standard output and error:
#SBATCH -o ./tjob.out.%j
#SBATCH -e ./tjob.err.%j
# Initial working directory:
#SBATCH -D ./
# Job Name:
#SBATCH -J testrun
# Number of MPI Tasks:
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
# Do not enable hyperthreading
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-core=1
# Memory usage [MB] of the job is required, e.g. 2200 MB per cpu:
#SBATCH --mem=158400
# for OpenMP:
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=72
#
#SBATCH --mail-type=all
#SBATCH --mail-user=[you_username]@aei.mpg.de
#
# Wall clock limit:
#SBATCH --time=23:59:00

#
# Load compiler and MPI modules with explicit version specifications,
# consistently with the versions used to build the executable.

# module load doxygen/1.9.5
