## The EIC Software Container
### Create a local directory that you want to work in, e.g., `~/eic`
```bash
mkdir ~/eic
cd ~/eic
```
### Step 2: Deploy the containerized environment and launc a shell
Execute the following line in your tgerminal to setup your environment in your sandbox
directory. This will install the latest stable container and place a script called
