Session
In this talk we focus on installing software (stacks) beyond just the Python ecosystem. In the first part of the talk we give an introduction to using the package manager Spack (https://spack.readthedocs.io). In the second part we explain how we use Spack at our institute to manage the software stack on the local HPC.
