Singularity recipe for Pathway-Tools and mpwt. There is no guarantee that this recipe will work, it is a Work In Progress in early state.
To use Pathway-Tools, you need a file named .ncbirc in your home and containing the path to Blast:
[ncbi]nData=/usr/bin/data
To have an external ptools folder (mandatory when using big data), we have implemented an ugly hack. The idea is that it creates the ptools-local inside the home then it moves it inside the Singularity image.
After the creation of the container you have to use the command:
cp -r /opt/ptools /home/your/external/folder/ptools
This will move the ptools-local folder (with permissions) from Singularity container to the local machine.
In this way, PGDBs can be stored in the home folder outside your container.
