Hey,

I decided to make the transition from the lecacy version of FEniCS to FEniCSx and I just found that there is an option to install the app via Spack. This is the preferred installation approach for HPCs but I was wondering if it is possible to install FEniCSx via spack on my workstation.

Thanks in advance.

Spack isn’t exclusive to HPCs. It should be straightforward to use Spack to compile and install `py-fenics-dolfinx` and its dependencies, or whichever package you require.
