3.2. Converting Software Collection Scriptlets into Environment Modules
Environment modules allow you to manage, for example, different versions of applications by dynamically modifying your shell environment. To use your Software Collection with the environment module system, convert the Software Collection's
enable scriptlet into an environment module with a script /usr/share/Modules/bin/createmodule.sh.
Procedure 3.1. Converting an enable scriptlet into an environment module

#yum install environment-modules - Run the
/usr/share/Modules/bin/createmodule.shscript to convert your Software Collection'senablescriptlet into an environment module:/usr/share/Modules/bin/createmodule.sh /path/to/enable/scriptletReplace /path/to/enable/scriptlet with the file path of theenablescriptlet you want to convert. - Add the same command
