I am not sure which version you need exactly, but you can draw some inspiration from the easyconfigs for these modules in https://github.com/vscentrum/vsc-software-stack/tree/site-kul.

Very helpful, thanks @stevenvdb !

NONMEM sources from https://nonmem.iconplc.com/#/nonmem760 needs license password (not license file) to unpack zip file
PsN needs NONMEM to be installed first.
Also sources for Pirana are not available online.

@MaximeVdB It seems like for Pirana you used a container as as escape hatch. Is there a particular reason for this? Would it be feasible to do a "proper" from-source installation with EasyBuild of Pirana?
