[Neurodebian-users] running neurodebian Singularity container on Redhat EL6?

[Craig Hamilton]

I have a system running Redhat EL6 and want to be able to use neurodebian on it.  One solution I tried is:
   1. Build singularity from source
   2. Run “singularity pull shub://neurodebian/neurodebian”  which downloads a 12GB Singularity container.
   3. Run “singularity shell neurodebian-neurodebian-master.img”
   4. I get a shell prompt within the container, but don’t find any neuro software available anywhere.  
       If I run ‘uname -a’ at the container shell prompt, it returns redhat linux, not debian. The file system is
       very different than the underlying system’s file system, so I think I am inside the container.

Am I wasting my time trying to do this?   Singularity seems like a great solution, but do I need to be
running inside a debian VM?  That seems like an extra, unnecessary layer.  

As you can tell, I’m new to all this, any help much appreciated!

Thanks,
