2) Running multi-thread pipeline scripts (MPI CASA) may generate error messages, as described [here](https://casadocs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/frequently-asked-questions.html) under the 'Running pipeline in non-interactive mode' section. A CANFAR ALMA user reports success initiating MPI CASA in a Desktop container as follows:

`xvfb-run -a mpicasa casa —nologger —nogui -agg -c casa_script.py`

## ALMA/CASA Adjacent Containers : Galario
The UV data analysis package [galario](https://mtazzari.github.io/galario) is available under the radio-submm menu.
