As software has become an integral part of scientific workflows, reproducible research practices must take it into account. In what way? Archiving source code is a necessary but insufficient condition. The ability to redeploy software environments, which at first sight may be viewed as a technical detail, is in fact a requirement. This article explores tools and methods to achieve this goal.

翻译：由于软件已成为科学工作流程的一个组成部分,复制研究实践必须考虑到这一点。 以什么方式? 存档源码是一个必要但不充分的条件。 重新调配软件环境的能力(初看起来可视为技术细节)实际上是一项要求。 本条探讨了实现这一目标的工具和方法。
