!!! note

The search for those paths is **not recursive**.
I.e. for `--robot-path=/my/robot_path` the filepath `/my/robot_path/easyconfigs/OpenMPI` and similar is **NOT** considered.
You would need to set `--robot-path=/my/robot_path/easyconfigs` instead.
Note that you likely want to include the default search path by including a colon (see [below][robot_search_path_prepend_append]),
like `--robot-path=/my/robot_path/easyconfigs:`.


!!! note

Sometimes easyconfig files are needed even when the modules for the dependencies are already available,
