Requirements

SNT is available in Fiji and is currently distributed through the NeuroAnatomy update site.

1. Download and Install Fiji.
2. Subscribe to NeuroAnatomy update site:
   1. the Run the Fiji Updater (Help › Update..., the penultimate entry in the Help › menu)
   2. Click Manage update sites

NB:

• We recommend to re-run the updater on the day of the course to ensure you can access the most recent versions of the demos scripts
• It is perfectly fine to keep multiple Fiji installations in your system
• Due to lack of time, we are not going to cover sciview integration, so you don't need to subscribe to the sciview update site
• If you are using a laptop, an external mouse may be useful during part 1
