General Usage

Singularity is a container technology focused on building portable encapsulated environments to support \"Mobility of Compute\".

NOTE: This package is deprecated. Please use the apptainer package instead

This module will add the singularity command to your path. You can use that to run container images that you built or obtained elsewhere. Building containers generally requires root access, which we do NOT give out, so you may need to install singularity on your desktop and create images there.
