Tutorial: Spack 101
=============================

This is a full-day introduction to Spack with lectures and live demos.
It was presented as a tutorial for staff at the `RIKEN Center for
Computational Science (R-CCS)
<http://www.riken.jp/en/research/labs/r-ccs/>`_.  You can use these
materials to teach a course on Spack at your own site, or you can just
skip ahead and read the live demo scripts to see how Spack is used in
practice.

We provide scripts that take you step-by-step through basic Spack tasks.
They correspond to sections in the slides above. You can use one of the
following methods to run through the scripts:

  1. We provide the `spack/tutorial
     <https://hub.docker.com/r/spack/tutorial>`_ container image on
     Docker Hub that you can use to do the tutorial on your local
     machine.  You can invoke ``docker run -it spack/tutorial`` to start
     using the container.

  2. When we host the tutorial, we also provision VM instances in `AWS
     <https://aws.amazon.com/>`_, so that users who are unfamiliar with
     Docker can simply log into a VPM to do the demo exercises.

You should now be ready to run through our demo scripts:

  2. :ref:`configs-tutorial`
  3. :ref:`packaging-tutorial`
  4. :ref:`environments-tutorial`
  5. :ref:`modules-tutorial`
  6. :ref:`build-systems-tutorial`
  7. :ref:`advanced-packaging-tutorial`
