+Installing from Source using Spack
+----------------------------------
+
+Spack_ is a package management tool designed to support multiple versions and
+configurations of software on a wide variety of platforms and environments.
+Please follow Spack's `setup guide`_ to configure the Spack system.
+
+The OpenMC Spack recipe has been configured with variants that match most options
+provided in the CMakeLists.txt file. To see a list of these variants and other
+information use:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    spack info openmc
+
+.. note::
+
+    It should be noted that by default OpenMC builds with ``-O2 -g`` flags which
+    are equivalent to a CMake build type of `RelwithDebInfo`. In addition, MPI
+    is OFF while OpenMP is ON.
+
+It is recommended to install OpenMC with the Python API. Information about this
+Spack recipe can be found with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    spack info py-openmc
+
+.. note::
+
+   The only variant for the Python API is ``mpi``.
+
+The most basic installation of OpenMC can be accomplished by entering the following command:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    spack install py-openmc
+
+.. caution::
+
+    When installing any Spack package, dependencies are assumed to be at configured defaults unless otherwise specfied in the
+    specification on the command line. In the above example, assuming the default options weren't changed in Spack's package
+    configuration, py-openmc will link against a non-optimized non-MPI openmc. Even if an optimized openmc was built separately,
+    it will rebuild openmc with optimization OFF. Thus, if you are trying to link against dependencies that were configured
+    different than defaults, ``^openmc[variants]`` will have to be present in the command.
+
+For a more performant build of OpenMC with optimization turned ON and MPI provided by OpenMPI, the following command can be
+used:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    spack install py-openmc+mpi ^openmc+optimize ^openmpi
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``+mpi`` is automatically forwarded to OpenMC.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    When installing py-openmc, it will use Spack's preferred Python. For example, assuming Spack's preferred Python
+    is 3.8.7, to build py-openmc against the latest Python 3.7 instead, ``^python@3.7.0:3.7.99`` should be added to the
+    specification on the command line. Additionally, a compiler type and version can be specified at the end of the
+    command using ``%gcc@<version>``, ``%intel@<version>``, etc.
+
+A useful tool in Spack is to look at the dependency tree before installation. This can be observed using
+Spack's `spec` tool:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    spack spec py-openmc+mpi ^openmc+optimize
+
+Once installed, environment/lmod modules can be generated or Spack's `load` feature
+can be used to access the installed packages.
