title Running Singularity with Vagrant (Windows/Linux/Mac etc)
sidebar main_sidebar
permalink install-crossplatform

This recipe demonstrates how to run Singularity on your Windows/Linux/Mac etc environment via Vagrant. Mac is not tried due to lack of Mac computer.The idea is to run Singularity on all platforms which Vagrant supports.Provisioning is chosen "ansible_local".Cross-platform method is applicable to Docker container as well.

Environment

First, install the following software:

  • install VirtualBox
  • install Vagrant for Windows or Vagrant for Linux,Mac etc.
  • choose any linux flavor on vagrant cloud or custom vagrant box as base.
  • Vagrantfile configuration

"config.vm.provision "ansible_local" do |ansible|"

Bring up vagrant vmguest

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

On Vagrant vmguest install ubuntu singularity package.

$ sudo apt-get singularity-container

Verify singularity installation

vagrant@vagrant:~$ which singularity
/usr/bin/singularity
vagrant@vagrant:~$ singularity --version
2.4.5-dist
