# 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="" \
-v ~/Desktop:/Desktop \
-v /Volumes:/Volumes \
-p 8900:8787 \
`r cont`
```
### NOTES
* Make sure to replace `` 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.
# Session Info
```{r Session Info}
utils::sessionInfo()
```
