Caveats

To use Lmod, you should add the init script to the shell you are using.

For example, the bash setup script is here: $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/profile
and you can source it in your bash setup or link to it.

If you use fish, use $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/fish, such as:
  ln -s $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/lmod/init/fish ~/.config/fish/conf.d/00_lmod.fish
