+# Apptainer (singularity) container
+
+- Frontera Base Container: https://containers-at-tacc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/singularity/03.mpi_and_gpus.html
+- Vista Base Container: https://hub.docker.com/r/tacc/tacc-base 
+
+## How to build
+
+Download `.def` file in scratch, and run:
+
+```bash
+module load tacc-apptainer
+apptainer build miv-simulator-container.sif <container name>.def
+```
+
+## MPI
+
+On TACC system, make sure to use `ibrun`.
+
+```bash
+ibrun apptainer exec miv-simulator-container.sif python ...
+```
