$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack
Activate spack:
$ . spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
Install:
$ spack install vacuumms
Load into the user environment:

VACUUMMS can also be installed using the CMake build system generator:
$ git clone https://github.com/VACUUMMS/VACUUMMS
$ cd VACUUMMS
$ mkdir cmake
$ cd cmake
$ ccmake ..
Select the desired options from the ccmake generator screen, generate, and exit ccmake. Then invoke make to build VACUUMMS:
$ make
$ make install
See individual commands for usage info, e.g.:
