Docker#

We provide a script to build a docker container for Annolid to make it easier to access the package without the need to install anything besides Docker.

You need to make sure that Docker is installed on your system (or a similar software capable of building containerized applications)

cd annolid/docker
docker build .

Now if you want to access Annolid through the GUI, you will need to connect the image through your computer’s display using

xhost +local:docker

Finally, we will need the Image ID of your Annolid image. To get that use:

docker image ls

and write down the IMAGE ID associated with annolid repository.

Finally to launch annolid, run the following:

docker run -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix/ -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY <Image ID>
