MPSD software manager

This repository provides the mpsd-software tool which is used to install package sets and toolchains on the MPSD HPC cluster.

It can also be used to install the software on other machines, such as Linux laptops and desktops. This can be useful to work - on a local machine - with the same software environment, for example to debug a problem.
