[MINC-users] new minc-toolkit binary package

[Vladimir S. FONOV]

Hello Everybody,

I've created a binary destribution of most of commonly used minc tools
in a single package:

for Ubuntu 11.04 (will work on newer versions as well, Andrew Janke
also succesfully installed it on Ubuntu 10.10)
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/minc-toolkit-0.3.5-20120419-Ubuntu_11.04-x86_64.deb

for Debian 6:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/minc-toolkit-0.3.5-20120419-Debian_6.0-x86_64.deb

for MacOS X 10.7:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/minc-toolkit-0.3.5-20120419-Darwin-x86_64.dmg

It includes most of the standard minc tools, Display, Register and a
basic image processing pipeline based on the one developed for NIHPD
project ( standard_pipeline.pl) Everything is currently installed in
/opt/minc , to avoid conflict with standard /usr/local/bic location.
To use , source evironment in /opt/minc/minc-toolkit-config.sh for
bash or /opt/minc/minc-toolkit-config.csh for tcsh

Unfortunately, Display and Register  show everything in pink on MacOS X - maybe
somebody with mac knowledge could take a look at it.

The package is based on minc-toolkit superbuild package hosted on github:

https://github.com/BIC-MNI/minc-toolkit

If you feel like build it, read  README.txt at the bottom of github page


Also, available collection of anatomical templates ( ICBM 152
Nonlinear atlases version 2009 ):

For Debian/Ubuntu:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/bic-mni-models-0.1.0-20120420.deb

For MacOS X:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/bic-mni-models-0.1.0-20120420.dmg

anatomical templates will be installed in
/opt/minc/share/icbm152_model_09a and
/opt/minc/share/icbm152_model_09c

I have also made a package for testing installation, right now it is
running a standard pipeline on two (supplied ) ICBM subjects:

For Debian/Ubuntu:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/minc-toolkit-testsuit-0.1.0-20120420.deb

For MacOS X:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/minc-toolkit-testsuit-0.1.0-20120420.dmg

Test data is installed in /opt/minc/share/testsuit/ , to run the test
execute /opt/minc/run_tests.sh <prefix> , it will take around
30minutes on modern computer , the output will be in
<prefix>/00200  and <prefix>/00201 and the log file will be saved in
<prefix>/minc-toolkit-test-<date>.log

It would be great if somebody with a Mac could install the package and
execute the test suite , to make sure it works as expected (I didn't
have a chance).
