I encourage anyone to follow the "install your first package" instructions, but pick a real scientific package like WRF or GROMACS. Be prepared to wait a while though...

If you do pick WRF, you can also use a binary cache, as shown in this workshop https://weather.hpcworkshops.com/ .

I haven't tried since the binary cache launched - but over the years I've attempted to use Spack following their "getting started" guide half a dozen times and achieved nothing but long waits and disappointment; part of the reason for recommending it was a sanity check on whether I am just impatient or have unreasonable expectations when it comes to software behaving as documented.
