Docker Setup for FermiLib+ProjectQ=FermiQ.
This Docker image will help users to easily install FermiLib and ProjectQ. Check out Docker's website that describes what a container image is and why it can be so useful.
- Conda Python 3 (but you can also use Python 2 with one minor change in Dockerfile. See Dockerfile for instructions.)
- ProjectQ (git repo)
- FermiLib (git repo)
To use this image, you first need to install Docker.
After installing Docker, there are two options: (1) pulling the Docker image from Docker Hub or (2) building the image.
(1) To pull the Docker image, execute:
docker pull hsim13372/fermiq_docker
(2) To build the Docker image, move the Dockerfile to your working directory. Then execute:
docker build -t "hsim13372/fermiq_docker" .
Finally, to run the image (assuming you're still inside your working directory), execute with YOUR_WORK_DIR as the path to your working directory:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):YOUR_WORK_DIR -w YOUR_WORK_DIR hsim13372/fermiq_docker
When you're done using the Docker image, you can use docker stop YOUR_CONTAINER_ID or docker kill YOUR_CONTAINER_ID to stop your container (you can get your container ID by using the command docker ps). Finally, feel free to use this as a parent image to build a more customized image layer, perhaps containing the available plugins (PySCF or Psi4) for FermiLib.
