EasyBuild is a software build and installation framework written in Python that allows you to install software in a structured, repeatable and robust way. The tool is open-source (GPLv2), and aims to relieve to the ubiquitous problem that many HPC support team all around the world are faced with, i.e. building scientific software correctly.

EasyBuild was presented at Supercomputing'2012, where it was very well received. The paper and the slides of our talk at the PyHPC workshop at SC'12 are available through our website, see hpcugent.github.com/easybuild/.
EasyBuild is available via GitHub, spread across three repositories:
- https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework
- https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks
