Automates using a package manager to build and deploy software.

Uberenv is a python script that helps automate building third-party dependencies for development and deployment.

Uberenv uses Spack (https://www.spack.io/) on Unix-based systems (e.g. Linux and macOS) and Vcpkg (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg) on Windows systems.

Uberenv was released as part of the Conduit project (https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/). It is included in-source in several projects, this repo is used to hold the latest reference version.

For more details, see Uberenv's documention:

You can also find details about how it is used in Conduit's documentation:

Conduit's source repo also serves as an example for uberenv and spack configuration files, etc:
