The Connectome Mapper 3 is composed of a Docker image, namely the Connectome Mapper 3 BIDS App, and a Python Graphical User Interface, namely the Connectome Mapper BIDS App Manager.
Installation instructions for the Connectome mapper 3 BIDS App are found in Installation.
Installation instructions for the Connectome mapper 3 BIDS App Manager are found in Installation.
Make sure that you have installed the following prerequisites.
The Connectome Mapper 3 BIDSApp
Prerequisites
Install Docker Engine depending of your system:
For Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/18.04, follow the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
For Mac OSX (>=10.10.3), get the .dmg installer at https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac
For Windows (>=10), get the installer at https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows
Note
Connectome Mapper 3 BIDSApp has been tested only on Ubuntu and MacOSX. In principles, it should also run on Windows but it might require a few patches to make it work.
Manage Docker 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 (v3.0.1) of the BIDS App:
$ docker pull sebastientourbier/connectomemapper-bidsapp:v3.0.1
To display all docker images available:
$ docker images
You should see the docker image “connectomemapper-bidsapp” with tag “v3.0.1” 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
Install miniconda3 (Python 3) from https://conda.io/miniconda.html
Download the Python 3 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:
$ cd connectomemapper3 $ git fetch $ git checkout tags/v3.0.1 -b v3.0.1
Note
If a few bugs related to the Graphical User Interface were fixed after releasing the version, you might want to use the code at its latest version on the master branch (i.e. git checkout master
).
Create a miniconda3 environment where all python dependencies will be installed:
$ cd connectomemapper3 $ conda env create -f conda/environment.yml
Important
It seems there is no conda package for git-annex
available on Mac.
For your convenience, we created an additional conda/environment_macosx.yml
miniconda3 environment where the line - git-annex=XXXXXXX
has been removed.
Git-annex should be installed on MacOSX using brew
i.e. brew install git-annex
. See https://git-annex.branchable.com/install/ for more details.
Note that git-annex
is only necessary if you wish to use BIDS datasets managed by Datalad (https://www.datalad.org/).
Activate the conda environment:
$ source activate py37cmp-gui
or:
$ conda activate py37cmp-gui
Install the Connectome Mapper BIDS App Manager from the Bash Shell using
pip
:(py37cmp-gui)$ cd connectomemapper3/ (py37cmp-gui)$ pip install .
You are ready to use the Connectome Mapper 3 (1) via its Graphical User Interface (GUI) aka CMP BIDS App Manager (See Graphical User Interface for the user guide), (2) via its python
connectomemapper3_docker
andconnectomemapper3_singularity
wrappers (See With the wrappers for commandline usage), or (3) by interacting directly with the Docker / Singularity Engine (See <containerusage for commandline usage).
In the future
If you wish to update Connectome Mapper 3 and the Connectome Mapper 3 BIDS App Manager,
this could be easily done by (1) updating the git repository to a new tag with git fetch
and
git checkout tags/|release| -b |release|
and (2) running pip install .
.
Help/Questions
If you run into any problems or have any questions, you can post to the CMTK-users group. Code bugs can be reported by creating a “New Issue” on the source code repository.
