Install Singularity 3.x on your local linux machine.

...

It is recommended to install Singularity according to the official guide. https://sylabs.io/guides/3.5/user-guide/quick_start.html

Avoid using apt-get or yum , they are much lower than 3.x and are not fully compatible with Singularity 3.4 and 3.3 installed on LANTA.
