Installing Mofka

Like all Mochi packages, Mofka can be built using Spack. After you have installed and setup spack and added the diaspora-spack-packages repository as explained here, add the mochi-spack-packages repository as follows.

git clone https://github.com/mochi-hpc/mochi-spack-packages.git
spack repo add mochi-spack-packages/spack_repo/mochi

We recommend that you update your clone of this repository (and the diaspora-spack-packages resoritory) from time to time to get the latest versions of all the dependencies.

You can then install Mofka as follows.

spack install mofka

Installing in a Spack environment

Alternatively, you can isolate your Mofka installation in a Spack environment as follows (replace myenv with the name you want to give the environment).

spack env create myenv
spack env activate myenv
spack repo add https://github.com/mochi-hpc/mochi-spack-packages.git
spack repo add https://github.com/diaspora-project/diaspora-spack-packages.git
spack add mofka
spack install

It is generally recommended to use a Spack environment to better manage package isolation. Adding mochi/diaspora-spack-packages this way also ensures that it is added only to the environment and not globally.
