Installation

• Install singularity v3. For more information regarding this process, have a look at singularity’s website :
• Dowload the salome_meca 2021 container (use the right click and "save as" ) :
• Use this command in a terminal in order to prepare the container’s environment and generate the launcher
  singularity run --app install salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9.sif

The platforme is already installed within the container, no need to install anything else as all the prerequisites are in the container

• Launching salome_meca 2021 using the singularity container :
  ./salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9
• salome_meca uses GPU acceleration and expects a Nvidia-like device. Yet, on may use software rendering instead using such option:
  ./salome_meca-lgpl-2021.0.0-1-20210811-scibian-9 --soft
