Singularity container creation

It would be helpful to have a Singularity container (image) of your package!

Thanks for the feedback! This is something that we are hoping to have in a future release. We will update here when it is ready.

I've built a docker image for the SigProfiler tools. I haven't extensively tested it, but it builds just fine. GRCh37 and GRCh38 are installed.

singularity pull docker://lculibrk/sigprofiler:latest

Update on my previous comment,

The container runs into the errors outlined here: https://github.com/AlexandrovLab/SigProfilerExtractor/issues/247

I'll try to rebuild and see if that helps. @mdbarnesUCSD , if this is an issue inherent to containerizing the SigProfiler suite, is there any guidance you can provide to workaround the issue? Happy to share the Dockerfile too.

There are some issues that originate from the default behavior for SigProfilerMatrixGenerator and SigProfilerPlotting because of how they save and load files from site-packages. There are some updates that we are rolling out that enable this behavior to change by adding a parameter "volume" for a user specified location. SigProfilerExtractor will also need to be updated to utilize these changes before a singularity container will work. Here are the recent updates to SigProfilerAssignment.

I tested the tool inside your Singularity container and it runs into the same errors as yours: #247
