Setting up your environment

To set up the EESSI environment, simply run the command:

source /cvmfs/software.eessi.io/versions/2023.06/init/bash

This may take a while as data is downloaded from a Stratum 1 server which is part of the CernVM-FS infrastructure to distribute files. You should see the following output:
