The quickstart guide and cpac page in the documentation don't explicitly state that a container platform needs to be installed (and in the case of Docker, that the daemon needs to be running) for cpac to work.
Proposed feature
We should clarify that that a user needs at least one of these installed (and in the case of Docker running) for cpac to work.
Acceptance criteria
[ ] Quickstart guide links to Docker and Singularity installation instructions
[ ] cpac page links to Docker and Singularity installation instructions
Additional context
From my perspective these are the main pros and cons:
Pros
Cons
Docker
• more mature • more documentation • wider feature set
• larger footprint on disk • requires special permissions • requires daemon to be running
Singularity
• lighter weight • no special permissions required • only runs when called
• less mature • less documentation • narrower feature set
