CAPSUL installation

Installing with BrainVISA

CAPSUL is the new pipelining system of the BrainVISA suite. It can therefore be installed with BrainVISA installer.

Installing without BrainVISA

Prerequisite

Installing Capsul on a brain new system requires that Python is installed (either Python 2 or Python 3) but also that some Python packages are installed. These dependencies are managed by pip or by setup.py. But one of the dependency (the traits Python module) requires some compilation during installation. Therefore, before installing Capsul is it necessary to install compilation packages as well as Python development package. In this document, we give the procedure for installation on a bare Debian based Linux distribution (it has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04).

Python 3 :

sudo apt-get install python3-dev build-essential

Python 2 :

sudo apt-get install python-dev build-essential

On the following commands, we use python command name indiferently for Python 2 and Python 3. For systems where Python 3 is not the default version, it may be necessary to use another command such as python3.

Install system-wide

From PyPI

sudo apt-get install python-pip # On Ubuntu 16.04, use python3-pip for Python 3
sudo pip install capsul # On Ubuntu 16.04, use pip3 for Python 3

From source

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/populse/capsul.git /tmp/capsul
cd /tmp/capsul
python setup.py install # On Ubuntu 16.04, use python3 for Python 3
cd /tmp
rm -r /tmp/capsul

Install user-wide

From PyPI

sudo apt-get install python-pip # On Ubuntu 16.04, use python3-pip for Python 3
pip install --user capsul # On Ubuntu 16.04, use pip3 for Python 3

From source

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/populse/capsul.git /tmp/capsul
cd /tmp/capsul
python setup.py install --user
cd /tmp
rm -r /tmp/capsul

Install with virtualenv

For Python 3

sudo apt-get install python3-venv
python3 -m venv /tmp/venv # Choose your installation directory instead of /tmp/venv
/tmp/venv/bin/pip install capsul

For Python 2

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
virtualenv /tmp/venv # Choose your installation directory instead of /tmp/venv
/tmp/venv/bin/pip install capsul
