Docker and Apptainer are required to build the containers described below.

Apptainer/Singularity Image File

The simulation was performed using the Apptainer/Singularity manmetavar.sif image file. The image is a linux container with the manMetaVAR package and all the dependencies pre-installed.

To build the Apptainer/Singularity image file (manmetavar.sif), run the following.

apptainer pull manmetavar.sif docker://ijapesigan/manmetavar:2025-04-07-05390291

RStudio IDE Docker Container

To facilitate exploration of the package, we created a Docker container based on the Rocker Project. The manMetaVAR package and all the dependencies are pre-installed and can be accessed in the browser using the Rstudio IDE.

Run

To launch Rstudio Server, run the following.

docker run --rm -ti -e PASSWORD=yourpassword -p 127.0.0.1:8787:8787 ijapesigan/manmetavar:2025-04-07-05390291

Open http://localhost:8787 on your web browser to launch Rstudio Server.

  • username: rstudio
  • password: yourpassword

NOTE: Mplus is closed-source and proprietary software, so it cannot be included in publicly available containers. Consequently, some functions that require Mplus will not work in these containers.
