## Singularity containers




This Github repository maintains *Singularity* image files for R or Python packages which are difficult to configure / set-up on an operating system other than Linux. My main purpose of utilizing Singularity is that packages I currently maintain (*RGF*, *nmslibR*, *fuzzywuzzyR*) can take a great amount of time to install and might lead to operating system problems. Taking advantage of the Singularity images a user can work from within the *Rstudio IDE* (port 8787) in case of R or from within a *Jupyter notebook* (port 8888) in case of Python. The images can be pulled / built either locally or in a cloud instance. I wrote a [blog-post](http://mlampros.github.io/2018/07/26/singularity_containers/) explaining how it works in R and Python.

Singularity is a container solution similar to [docker](https://www.docker.com/). More information can be found in the [documentation](https://www.sylabs.io/guides/2.5.1/user-guide.pdf) and in the *References* that I included in the README.md file.
