A system similar to environment modules that allows for simple management of multiple versions of software on a UNIX machine, as well as their dependencies.

Example usage:

source /path/to/eups/bin/setups.sh  # Initialize EUPS
setup lsst_distrib 11.0             # Add the LSST software stack v11 to the path
unsetup lsst_distrib                # Remove the currently set up LSST software stack

./configure --prefix=/path/to/eups --with-eups=/path/to/managed/software/products
make
make install

where /path/to/eups is the directory where EUPS will be installed, while /path/to/managed/software/products is the path where software managed by EUPS will be installed. It is recommended that the latter is not a subpath of the former.

Details on using EUPS are given in the manual, doc/eups.tex. To produce a readable copy, cd doc and say:

    latex eups.tex; dvips -f eups.dvi > eups.ps

or

    pdflatex eups.tex

WARNING: The manual is significantly out of date; caveat reader!
