Docker¶

The easiest way to use IMPaCT is via Docker — no local dependency installation required.

Building the Image¶

docker build -t impact .

The first build may take a while as it compiles all dependencies.

docker run --rm -it --name impact impact

This opens a shell inside the container. Run examples with:

cd /app/examples/ex_2Drobot-R-U
make
./robot2D

To use your own examples or persist results, mount a local directory:

docker run --rm -it --name impact -v ~/my-examples:/app/examples impact

Files are shared between the container and host, so results appear in ~/my-examples.

Warning

Files created inside the container (not in a mounted volume) are lost when the container stops.

Alternatively, copy files out of a running container:

docker cp impact:/app/examples/ex_2Drobot-R-U/controller.h5 .
