Note that you can also just bootstrap a Docker image: 4 5 6 If you want to move forward with the raw, old school, jeans and hard toes bootstrap, here is what to do. I work on an Ubuntu machine, so I had to use a Docker Arch Linux image to do this. This first part you should do on your local machine (if not arch linux) is to use Docker to interactively work in an Arch Linux image. If you don't want to copy paste the build spec file, you can use `--volume` to mount a directory from your host to a folder in the image (I would recommend `/tmp` or similar). Here we run the docker image: 7 8 9 ```bash 10 docker run -it --privileged pritunl/archlinux bash 11 ``` 12 13 ```bash 14 pacman -S -y git autoconf libtool automake gcc python make sudo vim arch-install-scripts wget 15 git clone https://github.com/sylabs/singularity 16 cd singularity 17 git checkout -b development 18 git pull origin development 19 ./autogen.sh 20 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local 21 ``` 22 23 You can add the [Singularity](Singularity) build spec here, or cd to where it is if you have mounted a volume. 24 25 ```bash 26 cd /tmp 27 singularity create arch.img 28 sudo singularity bootstrap arch.img Singularity 29 ``` 30 31 That should do the trick!
