E4S Learning Core Competencies
Core Competencies are the foundational skills for working with E4S day to day. Each one links to the real, in-depth page that teaches it — this page is your map, not a duplicate.
| Skill | Where to learn it |
|---|---|
| Install E4S from source with Spack | Finding and Installing with Spack, E4S-Specific Spack Installation |
| Install faster with pre-built binaries | E4S Spack Caches, Create a Local E4S Binary Cache |
| Run E4S in a container | E4S Container Download, Container Installation, Container Launch |
| Find the right package | E4S Product Catalog |
| Look up technical details | E4S Documentation |
| Compose multiple libraries in one build | Library Composition: Kokkos+HYPRE — a worked example |
| Get unstuck fast | E4S Guide Bot |
There isn’t yet a simple “verify your own install worked” page on the site distinct from Test with E4S (which is a more advanced use case — see Advanced Topics) — worth flagging as a real content gap if you want one written.
