Run your ALICE environment from a container. Install Docker, then:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alidock/alidock/master/alidock-installer.sh)
Windows users can install the package with pip instead.
You may need to close and reopen your terminal as advised. Run alidock now:
alidock
You are instantly dropped in a shell with a consistent ALICE environment from a Docker container. From there you can directly run, for example:
aliBuild init O2@dev --defaults o2
aliBuild build O2 --defaults o2
and it will download the precompiled binaries for you.
Your home directory in the container, called /home/alidock, is available from outside the
container in ~/alidock. This means you can use your favourite text editor or IDE from your laptop,
no need to edit from inside the container.
