This one is special. CESM cannot be installed as the user creates simulation cases by compiling the source code.

So the only thing we can do is install the CESM-deps easyconfigs, which load the dependencies and set the environment to compile those cases with CESM.

You can find instructions on how to use it in our docs if you need to test it: https://hpc.vub.be/docs/software/usecases/#cesm-cime
