[MINC-users] HOWTO: building and installing brain-view2 on Ubuntu 14.04.3

[Gabriel A. Devenyi]

Hi all,

Since I’ve had many collaborators who’ve recently wanted to start using
brain-view2 and found that it’s nearly impossible to install, I have
documented a minimal set of steps to install brain-view2 on a *fresh*
install of Ubuntu 14.04.3. This script makes no attempts to check anything.
Hopefully you can adapt this to your own needs based on your system:

This is designed to be run as root, so do sudo -i before running the script

#!/bin/bashset -e
apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential gdebi-core git libcoin80-dev
qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libqt4-core libboost-dev autogen pkg-config
libtool libpcre++-dev gdb
cd ~
wget http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/minc-toolkit/Debian/minc-toolkit-1.9.10-20150710-Ubuntu_14.04-x86_64.deb

gdebi -n ~/minc-toolkit-1.9.10-20150710-Ubuntu_14.04-x86_64.deb
source /opt/minc-itk4/minc-toolkit-config.sh
#brain-view2 mess
mkdir ~/brain-view-buildcd ~/brain-view-build
#Install Quarter#Original source of Quarter is dead...
wget https://distfiles.macports.org/Quarter/Quarter-1.0.0.tar.gz

tar -xzf Quarter-1.0.0.tar.gzcd ~/brain-view-build/Quarter-1.0.0 &&
./configure && make && make install
#Install bicInventor#Cloning my patched version of bicInventor until
pull-request to MNI version is integrated
git clone https://github.com/gdevenyi/bicInventor.git
cd ~/brain-view-build/bicInventor && ./autogen.sh && ./configure
--prefix=/opt/minc-itk4 --with-build-path=/opt/minc-itk4 --with-minc2
&& make && make install
#Install brain-view2
git clone https://github.com/sghanavati/brain-view2.gitcd
~/brain-view-build/brain-view2 && qmake MINCDIR=/opt/minc-itk4
HDF5DIR=/opt/minc-itk4 && make && cp brain-view2 /opt/minc-itk4/bin
