It includes almost the full suite of Pulsar/FRB signal processing software:
System:
Currently, I have the following versions of the container:
The PSRSOFT_yhy1.1.simg is recommended (updated on 17 Sept 2020).
Download it from my personal website
wget http://haoyangye.com/PSRSOFT_yhy1.1.simg
Want to know more about singularity container and singularity instructions, see ReadMore.md under the same github repo.
You can issue a problem here or contact me HAOYANG.YE AT CANTAB.NET
If you find the download is too slow
Download PSRSOFT_yhy.simg
Put it somewhere on your computer.
Create a presto_simg.sh as below:
#!/bin/bash
export ASTROSOFT=/PSRSOFT
# OSTYPE
export OSTYPE=linux
# PGPLOT
export PGPLOT_DIR=$ASTROSOFT/pgplot
export PGPLOT_DEV=/xw
#TEMPO
export TEMPO=$ASTROSOFT/tempo
#TEMPO2
export TEMPO2=/usr/local/tempo2
# PRESTO
export PRESTO=$ASTROSOFT/presto
# PSRCAT
export PSRCAT_RUNDIR=$ASTROSOFT/psrcat_tar
export PSRCAT_FILE=$ASTROSOFT/psrcat_tar/psrcat.db
# DSPSR
export PATH=/sigproc/bin:$PATH
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:$PGPLOT_DIR:$ASTROSOFT/lib:$PRESTO/lib:$ASTROSOFT/fftw-3.3.8/lib:$ASTROSOFT/cfitsio-3.48/lib:
# PATH
# Some Presto executables match sigproc executables so keep separate -
# all other executables are found in $ASTROSOFT/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ASTROSOFT/bin:$PRESTO/bin:$PGPLOT_DIR
### things you want to do
readfile GBT_Lband_PSR.fil
rfifind -time 1.0 -o Lband GBT_Lband_PSR.fil
prepdata -nobary -o Lband_topo_DM0.00 -dm 0.0 -mask Lband_rfifind.mask -numout 530000 GBT_Lband_PSR.fil
DDplan.py -d 500.0 -n 96 -b 96 -t 0.000072 -f 1400.0 -s 32 -r 0.5
You may want to change the last several lines, to inform presto the location of the file GBT_Lband_PSR.fil, and add your own commands.
If you want to obtain this file for test, download it by
wget http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~sransom/GBT_Lband_PSR.fil
Then exec the singularity image file as:
singularity exec presto_yhy.simg sh presto_simg.sh
You can add more commands to use presto by appending the .sh file.

If you want to find where the Presto folder is, please go to /PSRSOFT.
You can also use the container as an ubuntu environment.
The Singularity command you need is:
$ singularity shell presto_yhy.simg
