docker gotchas

Hi. I tried running this through Docker, and ran into a few gotchas following the gitbook instructions:

• the files in bin somehow gave me permission errors, despite being root. pasting these manually helped as a work-around.
• the setup script used sudo a lot, but the docker container did not recognize this. removing these helped. fwiw, installing sudo helped as well.
• source activate lab errored stating source was not recognized. I then tried:

# conda config --add channels anaconda
# conda activate lab
# conda env update
(lab) # python3 --version
Python 3.6.4
(lab) # yarn start
$ python3 run_lab.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run_lab.py", line 6, in <module>
    from slm_lab.experiment.control import Session, Trial, Experiment
  File "/opt/SLM-Lab/slm_lab/__init__.py", line 12
    with open(os.path.join(ROOT_DIR, 'config', f'{config_name}.json')) as f:
                                                                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
error Command failed with exit code 1

Trying this line in this python3 seemed not to yield syntax errors though, so f-strings do seem supported. Weird.

I haven’t fully gotten this to work, but hopefully some of this may be useful for the tutorial. I tried looking for the gitbook source in case I could add to the installation instructions based on this, but couldn’t find it.
