curl -O ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/aapp_singularity/v2/aapp_8.4_singularity.tar.gz
tar xf aapp_8.4_singularity.tar.gz
./build_8.4.sh
./update_8.4.sh
./test_8.4.sh

I have tested this today on bolt.ssec.wisc.edu (CentOS 7.7) with Singularity v3.5.2.

You don’t need to run download_8.4.sh; there is a risk that the remote files may have changed. But at least you can see how I downloaded and modified them.

Note that NWP-SAF has updated their install script (install_aapp8.sh) to build AAPP 8.5. I edit the install script to force it to install AAPP 8.4.

This build creates a separate data directory that is intended reside on the local host. It would be updated periodically (once every 24 hours recommended) by the update script.
