Quick Start

Container Images can be found at Biocontainers, StaphB, Sylabs.io Container Library, Docker Hub, Singularity Hub and GitHub.

To transfer a container image to your system use:

singularity pull SOURCE://PATH:TAG

---

To build a container, run a software script and collapse the container use:

singularity exec CONTAINER_NAME.sif YOUR_SCRIPT_HERE

To build and enter a container it use:

singularity shell CONTAINER_NAME.sif

Once inside software commands can be run directly. Use exit.

---

To remove container images:

rm CONTAINER_NAME.sif
