+
+ Singularity is a container system freely-available for Linux platforms. It is commonly available on institutional HPC systems as an alternative to Docker, which is often not supported on such systems.
+
+ The Singularity project forked into two separate projects in late 2021: `SingularityCE `__ and `Apptainer `__. Either fork should work with Nextstrain CLI, as both projects still provide very similar interfaces and functionality via the ``singularity`` command.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ These instructions are for institutional HPC systems that have Singularity installed and configured. You may need to ``module load`` SingularityCE or Apptainer. If you don't have Singularity available, consider using one of the other runtimes or continue by installing `SingularityCE `__/`Apptainer `__.
+
+ 1. Check that Singularity is available in your environment.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
