Module load intel (ERROR:105: Unable to locate a modulefile for 'intel')

Question

I am trying to use environment-modules in Ubuntu I could successfully install the module package but when I tried to use module load intel, it gave me the following error:

ERROR:105: Unable to locate a modulefile for 'intel'

I used module avail to see what modules can be available to load I got this:

- File /home/linux/.local/environment-modules/Modules/versions

    3.2.10

- File /home/linux/.local/environment-modules/Modules/3.2.10/modulefiles

    dot         module-git  module-info modules     null        use.own

Any help ?

You do not get module files automatically, you would need to create your own module file in /home/linux/.local/environment-modules/Modules/3.2.10/modulefiles, so to get a module named intel, you would need to create a file /home/linux/.local/environment-modules/Modules/3.2.10/modulefiles/intel with a module description for your intel environment.

Depending on your installation such a module could for example look like this:

#%Module -*- tcl -*-
##
## modulefile
##
proc ModulesHelp { } {

  puts stderr "\tAdds Intel compilers to your environment variables,"
}

module-whatis "adds Intel compilers to your environment variables"
