- Caveats: To use Lmod, you should add the init script to the shell you are using. For example, the bash setup script is here: $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/profile and you can source it in your bash setup or link to it. If you use fish, use $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/fish, such as: ln -s $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/fish ~/.config/fish/conf.d/00_lmod.fish
- Bottle: available on arm64_linux, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, arm64_tahoe, sonoma, x86_64_linux
