Supported NVIDIA expects usage of Docker as a containerization tool, but Docker is not a suitable solution in a multiuser environment. For this reason, the [Singularity container][b] solution is used. -Singularity can be used very similar to Docker, the only change is a rewrite of an image URL address. For example, original command for Docker `docker run -it nvcr.io/nvidia/theano:18.08` should be rewritten to `singularity shell docker://nvcr.io/nvidia/theano:18.08`.
