Populse_MIA installation from source¶

Without waiting for the latest version available on PyPI, it is possible to install the latest development version of populse_mia directly from the source code. This procedure is mainly intended for users. In developer mode, the local clone can simply be updated using the git pull command.

First, clone the repository:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/populse/populse_mia.git
cd populse_mia

Then install the package according to your Python environment:

System Python (outside a virtual environment):

python3 -m pip install --user --force-reinstall .

Virtual environment:

Install the package without the --user option:
```
python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall .
```

If the cloned repository is no longer needed, it can be removed:

cd ..
rm -rf populse_mia

The same procedure can be used for the other Python packages in the Populse project, including capsul, mia_processes, populse_db, soma-workflow, and soma-base.

Note

The --user option installs the package into the user’s site-packages directory and should only be used when installing with the system Python. It must not be used from within a virtual environment, where packages are installed directly into the virtual environment.
