Introduction

This page assumes that the target PC has all dependencies installed. You can the proceed by downloading the packages from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=162899. The download can be automated by the InstallerPackage. Alternatively, you can checkout the code from the monontone repositories.

All Neurospaces packages can be downloaded and installed by themselves, based on autotools ('./configure', 'make', 'sudo make install'). There is a small issue with the Heccer package: its compilation depends on the NMC to be installed.

The order of installation is:

• Installer (optional)
• NMC (model-container)
• Heccer
• SSP
• Studio
• Project-Browser

The most easy way to do the installation, is by using the package installer, see below.

For a user

Using the install script of the InstallerPackage:

• Install the common Neurospaces packages (at this moment, the model container, heccer, ssp and the studio), from downloads.sourceforge.net, distribution build-37 (please, modify 'build-37' to be the latest release available for download, at present it is 'build-37'):

neurospaces_build --download-server downloads.sourceforge.net --src-tag build-37 --src-dir  /tmp/neurospaces/downloads --verbose --verbose --verbose

Add a couple of '--verbose' options to see what is going on.

• To uninstall you can use the same command line, and use the '--uninstall' option:

neurospaces_build --download-server downloads.sourceforge.net --src-tag build-37 --src-dir /tmp/neurospaces/downloads --verbose --verbose --verbose --uninstall --no-configure --no-compile --no-install

Note that you must add the '--no-compile' option, otherwise things might break because of the compilation dependencies between the packages.

• Or if you the sources still in your filesystem after a previous download:

neurospaces_build --no-compile --uninstall --src-tag build-37 --src-dir /tmp/neurospaces/downloads --verbose --verbose --verbose

Note that you must add the '--no-compile' option, otherwise things might break because of the compilation dependencies between the packages.

• For each of the above command lines, it is possible to select individual packages using the --regex options. Its default value is --regex 'model-container|heccer|ssp|studio'.

For a developer

Using the install script of the InstallerPackage:

1. Understand how and why it works for a regular user.
2. use the following commands:

# download, install, check
neurospaces_build --download-server downloads.sourceforge.net --check --regex 'model-container|heccer|ssp|studio' --src-tag build-37 --src-dir /tmp/neurospaces/downloads --verbose --verbose --verbose

# uninstall
neurospaces_build --no-compile --uninstall --regex 'model-container|heccer|ssp|studio' --src-tag build-37 --src-dir /tmp/neurospaces/downloads --verbose --verbose --verbose

# reinstall the things you were working on, developing
neurospaces_build --regex 'model-container|heccer|ssp|studio' --verbose --verbose --developer --verbose
