Hi helpdesk, I want to use ANTS on Archer2 for ancillary generation. I found there already is a guide on this [ANTS](https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/miscellaneous/ants-container/) . But ANTS is not in $UMDIR/ancils anymore, although it was mentioned in Usage details section. I was wondering if ANTS is still available on Archer2 and where I can find it. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Weiyu ---

Hi Weiyu, It is the ancillary files used by ANTS that are under `$UMDIR/ancils` not ANTS itself. The Usage details section then goes on to give instructions on how to run ANTS within the singularity container on ARCHER2 (and JASMIN). Regards, Ros. ---
