Note

Connectome Mapper 3 BIDSApp has been tested only on Ubuntu and MacOSX. For Windows users, it might be required to make few patches in the Dockerfile.

  • Docker managed as a non-root user

    • Open a terminal

    • Create the docker group:

      $ sudo groupadd docker
      
    • Add the current user to the docker group:

      $ sudo usermod -G docker -a $USER
      
    • Reboot

      After reboot, test if docker is managed as non-root:

      $ docker run hello-world
      

Installation

Installation of the Connectome Mapper 3 has been facilitated through the distribution of a BIDSApp relying on the Docker software container technology.

  • Open a terminal

  • Get the latest release (v3.0.0-beta-20200227) of the BIDS App:

    $ docker pull sebastientourbier/connectomemapper-bidsapp:v3.0.0-beta-20200227
    
  • To display all docker images available:

    $ docker images
    

You should see the docker image “connectomemapper-bidsapp” with tag “v3.0.0-beta-20200227” is now available.

  • You are ready to use the Connectome Mapper 3 BIDS App from the terminal. See its commandline usage.

The Connectome Mapper 3 BIDSApp Manager (GUI)

Prerequisites

  • Installed miniconda2 (Python 2.7) from the web page:

    $ firefox https://conda.io/miniconda.html
    

    Download the Python 2.7 installer corresponding to your 32/64bits MacOSX/Linux/Win system.

Installation

The installation of the Connectome Mapper 3 BIDS App Manager (CMPBIDSAPPManager) consists of a clone of the source code repository, the creation of conda environment with all python dependencies installed, and eventually the installation of the CMPBIDSAPPManager itself, as follows:

  • Open a terminal

  • Go to the folder in which you would like to clone the source code repository:

    $ cd <INSTALLATION DIRECTORY>
    
  • Clone the source code repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/connectomicslab/connectomemapper3.git connectomemapper3
    
  • Create a branch and checkout the code corresponding to this version release:

    $ git fetch
    $ git checkout tags/v3.0.0-beta-20200227 -b v3.0.0-beta-20200227
    
  • Create a miniconda2 environment where all python dependencies will be installed, this by using the spec list “conda_packages_list.txt” provided by the repository:

    $ conda env create -f connectomemapper3/environment.yml
    
  • Activate the conda environment:

    $ source activate py27cmp-gui
    

    or:

    $ conda activate py27cmp-gui
    
  • Install the Connectome Mapper BIDS App Manager from the Bash Shell using following commands:

    (py27cmp-gui)$ cd connectomemapper3/
    (py27cmp-gui)$ python setup_gui.py install
    
  • You are ready to use the Connectome Mapper 3 BIDS App Manager. See the dedicated user guide.
