Python3.7 在 linux 上的模块加载期间未显示

Question

I've installed python3.7 on my school's computing cluster without using pip or sudo. I added the python path to $PATH variable in the bashrc. But it still doesnt show the module when I try to do module spider python . Am I missing any steps? Thanks in advance

To find a newly installed software through the module command, there should be a modulefile describing this software installation under an enabled modulepath.

Let's say /usr/share/modulefiles is a directory containing modulefiles. Create a python directory in this modulepath directory. Then create the 3.7 file in this directory:

#%Module
append-path PATH /the/path/to/your/python/3.7/installation

With this new file create in the modulepath directory, you have create a new modulefile: python/3.7 .

Enable the modulepath directory:

$ module use /usr/share/modulefiles

Now you can see the python/3.7 module:

$ module av python
--------- /usr/share/modulefiles ---------
python/3.7

$ module show python/3.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/share/modulefiles/python/3.7:

append-path     PATH /the/path/to/your/python/3.7/installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------
