+"""
+This script can be used to build all/selected docker/singularity images.
+0. Load your virtual environment like you would when using AMLB.
+1. Run the script with the required mode:
+    python build_images.py -m docker
+    python build_images.py -m singularity
+
+2. To delete files forcefully, add the --force flag. This is optional but recommended in case you change something.
+    python build_images.py -m singularity --force
+
+3. To specify frameworks, use the -f flag with a comma-separated list:
+    python build_images.py -m docker -f autosklearn,flaml,gama --force
+
+4. If no frameworks are specified, the script will act on all available frameworks.
