Introduction

This repository is a package containing a set of plugins for the CBRAIN platform.

Contents of this package

This package provides some tasks and models supporting parts of the MNI tools.

NOTE: Many of these MNI tools are not yet available publicly (CIVET for instance) so installing this package is of little utility for most installations.

How to install this package

An existing CBRAIN installation is assumed to be operational before proceeding.

This package must be installed once on the BrainPortal side of a CBRAIN installation, and once more on each Bourreau side.

1. Installation on the BrainPortal side:

• Go to the cbrain_plugins directory under BrainPortal:

cd /path/to/BrainPortal/cbrain_plugins

• Clone this repository. This will create a subdirectory called cbrain-plugins-mni with the content of this repository:

git clone [email protected]:aces/cbrain-plugins-mni.git

• Run the following rake task:

rake cbrain:plugins:install:all

• Restart all the instances of your BrainPortal Rails application.

2. Installation on the Bourreau side:

Note: If you are using the Bourreau that is installed just besides your BrainPortal application, you do not need to make any other installation steps, as they share the content of the directory cbrain_plugins through a symbolic link; you only need to restart your Bourreau server.

• Go to the cbrain_plugins directory under BrainPortal (yes, BrainPortal, because that's where files are installed; on the Bourreau side cbrain_plugins is a symbolic link):

cd /path/to/BrainPortal/cbrain_plugins

• Clone this repository:

git clone [email protected]:aces/cbrain-plugins-mni.git

• Run the following rake task (which is not the same as for the BrainPortal side):

rake cbrain:plugins:install:plugins

• Restart your execution server (with the interface, click stop, then start).
