Ah, but there is already a Singularity easyconfig :-). Do “eb –S”. I sort of agree with you though.

This is something that should be installed by an admin, directly on the node.

But Easybuild doesn’t (like to) let you build as root, and an attempted hack of just chmod-ing stuff to root:root after the build doesn’t work. What would be the advisable way to proceed? An new ConfigureMake easyblock that has “sudo” in the “make install” step? Todd
