## Build a DEB from source

To build a deb package for Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint invoke the following commands:

```bash
$ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc # sudo will ask for a password to run the tests
$ sudo dpkg -i ../singularity-container_2.2-1_amd64.deb
```

Note that the tests will fail if singularity is not already installed on your system. This is the case when you run this procedure for the first time.
In that case run the following sequence:

```bash
$ echo "echo SKIPPING TESTS THEYRE BROKEN" > ./test.sh
$ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -nc -b -us -uc # this will continue the previous build without an initial 'make clean'
```
