OVERVIEW
Spack (https://github.com/spack/spack, https://spack.io) is an open source package manager aimed at HPC users, developers, and facility staff.  You can use it to build software in many different configurations — with different compilers, flags, build options, and dependencies like different MPI or BLAS implementations.  Spack simplifies building large software stacks with hundreds of packages, and you can use it in your home directory or to deploy software for an entire HPC facility.
