EIC software container

Installation

1. Clone the repository and go into the directory

git clone https://eicweb.phy.anl.gov/containers/eic_container.git
cd eic_container

2. Run the deploy script deploy.py to install to your <PREFIX> of choice (e.g.
   HOME/local/opt/eic_container_1.0.4). By default the modelefile will be installed to `
   PREFIX/../../etc/modulefiles. You can use the -vflag to select the version you want to deploy, or omit the flag if you want to install the master build. The recommended stable release version isv1.0.4`.

./deploy.py -v 1.0.4 <PREFIX>

3. To use the container: load the modulefile, and then use the included apps as if they are native apps on your system!

module load eic_container

4. (Advanced) If you need to add additional bind directives for the internal singularity container, you can add them with the -b flag. Run ./deploy.py -h to see a list of all supported options.

Installation (throug cmake)

Use of the cmake-based deploy is deprecated, We recommend to use the deploy.py method instead.

1. Checkout the repository and create a build directory

git clone https://eicweb.phy.anl.gov/containers/eic_container.git
cd eic_containers && mkdir BUILD && cd BUILD

2. Configure the install for your environment, providing the appropriate prefix and module_dir you want to use.

cmake ../. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/stow/development

or

cmake ../. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix> -DINSTALL_MODULE_DIR=<module_dir>

3. Download the container and install.

make install

4. To use the container: load the modulefile, and then use the included apps as if they are native to your system!

module load eic_container
