Unsetting the `$MODULEPATH` environment variable, which tells Lmod in which directories environment module files are available, may be necessary.

EESSI uses a [compatibility layer](../compatibility_layer.md), while your system almost certainly uses another Linux distribution. If you can find a way to ensure that the _software stacks_ from your site and EESSI do not mix (especially when someone is building new software), then this should be sufficient.
