DESCRIPTION:This course aims to introduce the use of containers with the go
 al of using them to effect reproducible computational environments. Such e
 nvironments are useful for ensuring reproducible research outputs and for 
 simplifying the setup of complex software dependencies across different sy
 stems. The course will introduce the use of Docker and Singularity contain
 ers but the material will be of use for whatever container technology you 
 plan to\, or end up\, using. On completion of this course attendees should
 :\n\n\n	Understand what containers are and what they are used for\n	Unders
 tand how to manage and create Docker containers\n	Appreciate decisions tha
 t need to be made around containerising research workflows\n	Understand th
 e differences between Docker and Singularity containers and why Singularit
 y is more suitable for multi-user systems (e.g. HPC)\n	Understand how to m
 anage and create Singularity containers\n	Appreciate how containers can be
  used to enable and improve reproducibility in research\n\n\nTarget Audien
 ce: This course is aimed at researchers who have no (or very little) prev
 ious experience of using containers\n\nPrerequisites:\n\n\n	You should hav
 e basic familiarity with using a command shell\, and the lesson text will 
 at times request that you “open a shell window”\, with an assumption t
 hat you know what this means.\n\n	\n		Under Linux or macOS it is assumed t
 hat you will access a bash shell (usually the default)\, using your Termi
 nal application.\n		Under Windows\, Powershell and Git Bash should al
 low you to use the Unix instructions. We will also try to give command var
 iants for Windows cmd.exe\n	\n	\n\n\nRequirements: Participants must use
  a laptop with a macOS\, Linux\, or Windows operating system (not a tablet
 \, Chromebook\, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on.\nhttps:
