How to set the path for module command?

This is my .modulepath file, the last two lines are the paths where I have my modules mounted from another hard drive. Even though I added these lines module avail command does not fetch me any of the modules in those folders. If anyone could help it would be of great help. 

#
#  @(#)$Id: 38aa24cc33a5f54a93781d63005a084f74418022 $
#  Module version 3.2.10
#  init/.modulespath.  Generated from .modulespath.in by configure.
#
#  Modulepath initial setup
#  ========================
#
#  This file defines the initial setup for the module files search path.
#  Comments may be added anywhere, which begin on # and continue until the
#     end of the line
#  Each line containing a single path will be added to the MODULEPATH
#     environment variable. You may add as many as you want - just
#     limited by the maximum variable size of your shell.
#
/etc/environment-modules/modules
#/usr/share/modules/versions                            # location of     version files
#/usr/Modules/$MODULE_VERSION/modulefiles       # Module pkg modulefiles   (if versioning)
#/usr/Modules/modulefiles       # Module pkg modulefiles (if no versioning)
#/usr/share/modules/modulefiles                         # General module files
#/usr/Modules/3.2.10/your_contribs                      # Edit for your requirements
/opt/apps/modulefiles/Core                              
/opt/apps/modulefiles/Compiler

I have even tried using module use /opt/apps/modulesfiles/Core

user@user-N501VW:~$ module use /opt/apps/modulefiles/Core
user@user-N501VW:~$ $MODULEPATH
bash: /opt/apps/modulefiles/Core:/etc/environment-modules/modules:/usr/share/modules/versions:/usr/Modules/$MODULE_VERSION/modulefiles:/usr/share/modules/modulefiles: No such file or directory


akhila@akhila-N501VW:~$ module avail

------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/share/modules/versions --------------------------------------------------------------
3.2.10

------------------------------------------------------------ /usr/share/modules/modulefiles ------------------------------------------------------------
dot         module-git  module-info modules     null        use.own

Even though your specific modulepaths are correctly set in MODULEPATH environment variable, module avail does not return any modulefiles for these directories. It means module has not found a file in these directories that is a modulefile.

So I suggest you to:

  • check if your mountpoint is correctly mounted
  • verify that the files in the directories are modulefiles compatible with the module command you use (on the module command version you use, the content of a modulefile should start with the #%Module magic cookie)
