FUSION on Linux

Containerized FUSION (LiDAR processing software) that runs on Linux via WINE.

Run Container on Fedora Linux

# Bash

sudo dnf install git podman remmina
git clone https://github.com/danielrode/fusion-linux
./fusion-linux/run.sh fusion &
remmina --connect vnc://localhost:5900

Any VNC client should work. Remmina was picked because it is available in Fedora repos and is easy to use.

Run Container on HPC

TODO This section is incomplete.

# Bash

acompile
module load git
module load singularity
git clone https://github.com/danielrode/fusion-linux
./fusion-linux/run.sh fusion &

TODO Implement way to connect to VNC server on HPC

Run Container on Windows 11

While FUSION runs natively on Windows, this containerized version can run on Windows too. It may be useful when reproducibility is important.

Building Container

GitHub builds this container automatically, and the run scirpts pull those GitHub image builds. However, if you would like to build the image locally, run build.sh before run.sh.
