Computational reproducibility through virtual environment and Containerization

John Crerar Library - Kathleen A. Zar Room

Abstract
It is often difficult to reproduce computational workflows due to varying software versions and dependencies. Singularity containers are an excellent tool to use to overcome many of these challenges with the additional benefit to run them many years after they were created. During this workshop, we provide a detailed step-by-step protocol that describes how to package and use virtual environments and containers on a high-performance cluster. 
Learning Objectives
Use Conda to create environments and install software on the Midway HPC system
Export your Conda environment details to quickly recreate the software environment for any project
Learn how to use containers for code portability and reproducibility
Some common containerization tools
How to find and run containers built by other people.
How to build their own container.
How to distribute their container online.
Level: Introductory
Prerequisites
Some familiarity with the command line
Install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/install/
Install Singularity [optional]: https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/releases
