MRtrix

The complete documentation for MRtrix will eventually be found on the wiki, including a detailed decription of the installation procedure. The official website for MRtrix is hosted on Google+.

Getting help

Support and general discussion is hosted on the MRtrix3 Google+ Community page. Please address all MRtrix3-related queries there. You will need to create a Google+ account if you don't already have one.

Quick install

  1. Install dependencies by whichever means your system uses. These include: Python (>=2.6), a C++ compiler, POSIX threads, GNU Scientific Library (GSL, >= 1.1), zlib, OpenGL (>=3), and Qt (>=4.8).

  2. Clone Git repository and compile:

     $ git clone https://github.com/jdtournier/mrtrix3.git
 $ cd mrtrix3/
 $ ./configure 
 $ ./build

  3. Set appropriate environment variables:

    • Bash shell:

        $ export PATH=/<edit as appropriate>/mrtrix3/bin:$PATH

    • C shell:

        $ setenv PATH /<edit as appropriate>/mrtrix3/bin:$PATH

  4. Test installation:

     $ mrview

Keeping MRtrix3 up to date

  1. You can update your installation at any time by opening a terminal in the mrtrix3 folder, and typing:

     git pull
 ./build

  2. If this doesn't work immediately, it may be that you need to re-run the configure script:

     ./configure

    and re-run step 1 again.
