These instructions have moved to: HowTo Install AFNI

    While these steps are all fairly simple, the whole process can still
    take a few hours.  It is not necessary to stare at the screen during
    the entire process...

    Note that installing Xcode and fink can be (temporarily?) avoided if the
    user does not care for writing JPEG (etc.) images out.  While some of the
    10.6 libraries would be missing, the 10.5 package (macosx_10.5_Intel_64)
    has older libraries and works right off the bat.  The rest of this document
    assumes the user wants to update their system for the 10.6 binaries
    (macosx_10.6_Intel_64).


1. account setup
    1a. Create a user account with su (Administrator) privileges
        (via "System Preferences", under "Accounts").

    1b. (optional) Set the shell to /bin/tcsh.  This no longer works using
        the chsh command.

        Under System Preferences : System : Accounts menu, right-click on the
        user to get the Advanced Options menu and change the Login shell to
        /bin/tcsh.

    1c. (optional) Under System Preferences : Sharing : Services, enable
        Remote Login to allow ssh access.

    1d. Set the policy where "focus follows mouse", so that it is not
        necessary to first click on a new window (to select it) before
        subsequent clicks are applied to that window.

        From a terminal window, enter:

           defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true

    1e. Add /sw/bin (for Fink) and ~/abin (for AFNI) to path.

           echo 'set path = ( /sw/bin $path ~/abin )' >> ~/.cshrc

        Note: the /sw/bin and ~/abin directories will be created later
              (/sw/bin by fink install and ~/abin during AFNI install).

    1f. Log out and log back in to apply the shell and path changes.


2. Xcode installation
    Xcode is needed for the gcc compiler and related tools  It is best to start
    with the most recent version from the apple website.

        o  go to http://connect.apple.com
             - a login account is necessary to download, sign up the first time
             - sign up via "Register as an Apple Developer", it is free
        o  get the current Xcode package (part of Developer Tools) and install
             - current version is 3.2.6
             - installation defaults are good, no choices should be needed
        

3. Fink installation
At this point, you should install Fink.  We have had better results with Fink
than DarwinPorts -- OpenMotif from DarwinPorts does not seem to work well.

    3a. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink and download and install Fink.
        The 10.6 package is listed first at this time.

        Currently fink on is a source package, so extra steps are needed.
        In the future, this might not be needed.

                o  download the package (might expand to .tar)

                o  go to ~/Downloads and unpack the .tar file

                     cd ~/Downloads
                     tar -xf fink-0.34.5.tar
                     cd fink-0.34.5

                o install fink by running the 'bootstrap' program
                  (instructions are in the INSTALL file)

                  NOTE: for the second question, choose response '2'

                  That will install the 64-bit version.  Most other questions
                  can be answered with <enter> to pick the default option.

                     ./bootstrap

                o  let your t-shell know about new programs under /sw/bin

                     rehash
                    
    3b. Enable the "unstable" fink repositories.  Edit the "Trees:" line of 
        /sw/etc/fink.conf, appending the main and crypto unstable trees.  The
        full line should read:

          Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/crypto

    3c. Make sure Fink is up-to-date by typing the commands:

           sudo fink scanpackages
           sudo fink index
           sudo fink selfupdate

    3d. Install the needed libraries from fink by typing the command:

           sudo fink install glib glib2-dev netpbm openmotif3

        (rare) Note: IF the result is an rsync error, consider this.

    3e. Also, consider installing PyQt4, for use of the uber_*.py programs.

           sudo fink install python27-shlibs pyqt4-py27

    3f. (optional) Also, consider using gedit for an editor.

           sudo fink install gedit


4. AFNI installation (finally, the easy part)
    4a. Download and unpack the current binaries into your home directory,
        changing the directory name to 'abin'.

          cd
          curl -O http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/tgz/macosx_10.6_Intel_64.tgz
          tar -xzf macosx_10.6_Intel_64.tgz
          mv macosx_10.6_Intel_64 abin
          rm macosx_10.6_Intel_64.tgz

    4b. Since abin should already be in your path from above, just let your
        shell know about the new programs (or log out and back in).

          rehash

    4c. Try it out!  If these start, you should be in good shape.

    4d. Get sample data and review AFNI handouts.
