DIVAnd-singularity

Singularity container for DIVAnd, the interpolation tool (https://github.com/gher-ulg/DIVAnd.jl).

The container installs the last stable release of Julia, DIVAnd and other required Julia packages.

Dependencies

• Install singularity: https://sylabs.io/docs/

Building

After checking out the source, the singularity container can be build using:

rm -f DIVAnd.sif; sudo singularity build DIVAnd.sif Singularity

The first command is only needed if you already had the .sif file in your system.
The build operation lasts severall minutes due to the download and installation of languages and libraries.

Download

There are two possibilities to get the container

1. From the GitHub actions

• go to https://github.com/gher-ulg/DIVAnd-singularity/actions,
• choose the lastest commit,
• go to artefact,
• download and unzip the image file.
• 

2. From the Sylabs reposity containers

singularity pull --arch amd64 library://gher-uliege/divand/divand-singularity:v0-1-0

Running the container

There are two ways to run the container:

1. Without specifying a Julia script

singularity run DIVAnd.sif

This gives access to a Julia terminal, where commands and scripts can be executed.

2. By specifying the script to be run

singularity run DIVAnd.sif my_script.jl

(where my_script.jl has to be substitued by the correct file name).
