# Installation 

`r PKG` is now available via [`r docker_registry`](`r docker_url`) 
as a containerised environment with Rstudio and 
all necessary dependencies pre-installed.

## Method 1: via Docker

First, [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) 
if you have not already. 

Create an image of the [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) container 
in command line:  

```
docker pull `r cont`
```

Once the image has been created, you can launch it with:  

```
docker run \
  -d \
  -e ROOT=true \
  -e PASSWORD="<your_password>" \
  -v ~/Desktop:/Desktop \
  -v /Volumes:/Volumes \
  -p 8900:8787 \
  `r cont`
```  

### NOTES

* Make sure to replace `<your_password>` above with whatever you want your password to be.  
* Change the paths supplied to the `-v` flags for your particular use case. 
* The `-d` ensures the container will run in "detached" mode,
which means it will persist even after you've closed your command line session.  
* The username will be *"rstudio"* by default.  
* Optionally, you can also install the [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) 
to easily manage your containers.  

## Method 2: via Singularity

If you are using a system that does not allow Docker 
(as is the case for many institutional computing clusters), 
you can instead [install Docker images via Singularity](https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/2.6/user-guide/singularity_and_docker.html).  

```
singularity pull docker://`r cont`
```

For troubleshooting, see the [Singularity documentation](https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/latest/user-guide/singularity_and_docker.html#github-container-registry).

# Usage 

Finally, launch the containerised Rstudio by entering the 
following URL in any web browser:
*http://localhost:8900/*

Login using the credentials set during the Installation steps.
