How to extract KINC network with container?

[feltus]

Hi all.

I am unable to install KINC so I need to use the container. I can only get KINC to output EMX/CMX/CCM files but not do a network extraction. Below is what I did that results in trying to write to a read-only file system and launching MPI jobs. Please help as my students are naturally frustrated and I want to leave them with KINC instead of WGCNA. Alex

#nextflow version 22.10.7.5853
module add openjdk/11.0.15_10-gcc/9.5.0
module add openmpi/4.1.4-gcc/9.5.0-ucx
nextflow run systemsgenetics/KINC-nf -with-singularity

####Pull KINC Docker image and convert to singularity SIF
singularity pull kinc-3-4-2.sif docker://systemsgenetics/kinc:3.4.2-cpu

singularity run -B ${PWD} ./kinc-3-4-2.sif kinc run extract \

[WARN  tini (997058)] Tini is not running as PID 1 and isn't registered as a child subreaper.
Zombie processes will not be re-parented to Tini, so zombie reaping won't work.
To fix the problem, use the -s option or set the environment variable TINI_SUBREAPER to register Tini as a child subreaper, or run Tini as PID 1.

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):
