ERROR in file /opt/BRAKER/scripts/braker.pl at line 6008 Failed to create new species with new_species.pl, check write permissions in /opt/Augustus/config//species directory!

I had initially contacted Braker developers with the above stated error while attempting to test if the singularity container of braker3 is working. I was recommended to 'copy the complete config directory of AUGUSTUS from inside the image to the folder where you e.g. have the braker working directory as well' and then mount $PWD to the braker3.sif image to make new augustus path writable.

I am trying the following command with variations of 'Augustus' names to copy to the folder: 'singularity exec /path/to/braker3.sif cp Augustus/config .' So far I have failed to find and copy augustus from within the singularity image, could someone guide me how to do this?

Thanks,
Ashwini

Just wanted to update that I found the path by using 'find / -name "Augustus"' once inside the container. Then I could copy Augustus from the container to my local directory by singularity exec braker3.sif cp -r /opt/Augustus/include /path/to/folder.
