Hey, I'm Steven.
I'm trying to install SW4 with the Spack package, but, I have an error:
Installing proj-9.2.1-bm6yr6nwfixwn6j2rhltmfgvucqnafmt [67/72]

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steven,
Looks like spack is having problems installing the proj library because your connection timed out. Perhaps your machine had problems connecting to the internet? The proj library provides geographic projections that are used by sw4. I would recommend installing proj separately and then installing sw4 using cmake instead of spack. See the installation instructions for details (doc/SW4-Installation.pdf).
