no configure file under /environment-modules when using sudo apt-get install environment-modules

[thomasmessi19]

Please use preferably the Modules mailing-list to post question:

Hi, I use apt-get to download environment-modules 5.0.1. But I see many files are missing under /environment-modules including configure file. Why is that? only files there are:

/etc/environment-modules$ ls initrc modules modulespath site.exp siteconfig.tcl

I assume this is a rookie question, but please help :)

Hi,

When using apt-get install you install the environment-modules package which has been pre-configured. You should find the following content in this package (it may vary depending on the Debian version you use):

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/environment-modules/filelist

When installed with apt-get, you will not find the installation files of environment-modules (configure or Makefile). These files are not needed once installed, that is why they are not shipped in the package (you do not need them to use environment-modules once installed).

The content you list in the configuration directory (/etc/environment-modules) seems correct.

To go further in the configuration of environment-modules, you can follow the configuration guidelines, resuming at step 2 (step 1 has already been achieved when installing the package).
