Installation of Additional Software

To use additional software, we must first add automated instructions to Dockerfile so that everyone can easily update their image. I have created the additional_software folder so that we can have a singular installation folder for this.

Common Issues

If you are faced with errors complaining about \r characters, on your local console (eg. Windows) you need to disable Git from converting line-breaks to Windows-style and reclone the repository, you do not need to pull the images again.

git config --global core.autocrlf false
