'''This section requires you to install and use Docker and Apptainer on a system where you have appropriate privileges. These instructions will ''not'' work on our compute clusters.''' | |||
Unfortunately some instructions for packages only provide a <code>Dockerfile</code> without a container image. A <code>Dockerfile</code> contains the instructions necessary for the Docker software to build that container. Our clusters do not have the Docker software installed. That said, if you've access to a system with both Docker and Apptainer installed, and, sufficient access to Docker (e.g., <code>sudo</code> or root access, or, you are in that system's <code>docker</code> group) and, if needed, Apptainer (e.g., <code>sudo</code> or root access, or, you have <code>--fakeroot</code> access, then you can follow the instructions below to use Docker and then Apptainer to obtain an Apptainer image on that system. | Unfortunately some instructions for packages only provide a <code>Dockerfile</code> without a container image.
