SCons is an Open Source software construction tool.
Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache.
In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.

You can check the versions installed in Gadi with a module
query:
$ module avail scons
We normally recommend using the latest version available and always recommend to specify the version number with the module
command:
$ module load scons/3.1.1
For more details on using modules see our software applications guide.
