singularity: Start a container from an image and run a command.

singularity

$ singularity exec ${image-sif} ${command}

try on your machine

The command you provided is a template for running a command inside a Singularity container. Here is a breakdown of the different parts:

singularity exec: This is the command used to execute a command inside a Singularity container.
${image-sif}: This is a placeholder for the path or name of the Singularity image file (.sif) that you want to use. Make sure to replace ${image-sif} with the actual path or name of your Singularity image file.
${command}: This is a placeholder for the command that you want to run inside the Singularity container. Replace ${command} with the actual command you want to execute.

To use this command, you need to replace ${image-sif} with the path or name of your Singularity image file, and replace ${command} with the command you want to run inside the container. For example:

singularity exec my_image.sif ls -l

This command would execute the ls -l command inside the Singularity container specified by the image file my_image.sif.
