EasyBuild is a software build and installation framework that allows you to manage (scientific) software on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in an efficient way.
The easybuild-framework package is the core of EasyBuild. It supports the implementation and use of so-called easyblocks which implement the software install procedure for a particular (group of) software package(s).
The EasyBuild documentation is available at http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/.
The EasyBuild framework source code is hosted on GitHub, along with an issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests, see http://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework.
