-To be documented+The old singularity version (1.0) is going to being removed on week 8, year 2017 
 +because of a security issue. Please update your scripts to enable singularity using these commands: 
 + 
 +<​code:​bash>​ 
 +module load GCC/​4.9.3-2.25 
 +module load Singularity/​2.2.1 
 +</​code>​ 
 + 
 +It is recommended to **always use the version number** when loading the 
 +module to prevent issues using different versions. If you don’t use that 
 +and the default module changes, you will run an unwanted version.
