[Loris-dev] What MINC needs to be installed as a prereq. to imaging uploader?

[Naj]

Thanks Christine.

Actually here was the confusing part:


In the first section of read me, the requirements are minc, perl and dcmtk. So logically, I first installed those before following the rest of instructions. (I installed minc for Ubuntu 14, from nitrc, which alerted 'bad package', which I reported to Vlad and Bert). I got dcmtk with apt get.

For someone familiar with MINC, the LORIS wiki does not inform what the official minc release for LORIS is. For those who come to LORIS for the first time, they have no clue where to find MINC tools. When they google, it becomes more confusing: (On bic packages? On GIT? On NITRC? And which minc? 1, 2?)

Samir told me to get whichever version that has the latest version of dcm2mnc. But Bert told me that the latest minc tools were not accessible via apt get. (Redmine ticket?)


Cheers
Naj
