27 Please refer to the "Singularity":{{site.baseurl}}/architecture/singularity.html documentation in the Architecture section.
29 This page describes how to configure a compute node so that it can be used to run containers dispatched by Arvados on a static cluster. These steps must be performed on every compute node.

37 h2(#singularity). Set up Singularity
39 Follow the "Singularity installation instructions":https://sylabs.io/guides/3.9/user-guide/quick_start.html. Make sure @singularity@ and @mksquashfs@ are working:
42 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">singularity version</span>
44 $ <span class="userinput">mksquashfs -version</span>
45 mksquashfs version 4.4 (2019/08/29)
50 Then update @Containers.RuntimeEngine@ in your cluster configuration:
53 <pre><code> # Container runtime: "docker" (default) or "singularity"
54 RuntimeEngine: singularity
