 For more complicated installations like for example for ''R'', please read the [https://hpcugent.github.io/easybuild/ documentation] online and have a look at existing !EasyConfigs.
 
+=== Find existing !EasyConfig or create a new one ===
+ * To search for existing !EasyConfigs in both the default robot search path as well as in our dir for custom !EasyConfigs:
+{{{
+$> module load EasyBuild
+$> module list
+$> eb --robot-paths=:/apps/sources/EasyBuild/custom/ -S MySearchTerm
+}}}
+ * When no suitable !EasyConfig is present, create your own in !MyEasyConfig-1.2.3.eb file in {{{/apps/sources/EasyBuild/custom/}}}
+
 === Installing the software ===
- * Create a MyEasyConfig-1.2.3.eb file in {{{/apps/sources/EasyBuild/custom/}}}
- * module load !EasyBuild
- * eb --robot --robot-paths=:/apps/sources/EasyBuild/custom/ /path/to/MyEasyConfig-1.2.3.eb
+Enable the ''robot'' option for automatic dependency resolution and **append** our dir for custom !EasyConfigs to the search path to make !EasyBuild search for deps in first the default and second our custom dir in that order of precedence.

+$> module list
