Basic System Setup

We recommend installing some basic system-level development packages to minimize the amount of packages that Spack will build.

The following pages provide basic guidance on the following platforms and is where you should start:

• Livermore Computing (LC)

• macOS

• Ubuntu 24

At the end of each Setup guide, it has a link to the page that shows you how to build the minimal set of TPLs for Smith; followed by a page on how to build Smith from the generated host-config file via CMake.
