AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

It's still not in the regular release, but here are some instructions for using the beta version.


==================================================================================================
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
==================================================================================================
1. Install Anaconda using their downloadable scripts for your environment. On linux systems:

wget [repo.continuum.io]
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

Or use one of the installers here. On a Mac, I've downloaded the Python 2.7 installer - you can still use Python 3.6 later in your Anaconda environment- from the Anaconda download page.
[www.anaconda.com]


2. The installation program should ask you to put these lines in your .bashrc file. (not sure why there is a space after the first dot here).
You can source .bashrc or start a new bash shell. These lines are different than previous recent versions,
but conda lets you know to put these lines in.

. /home/glend/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate

3. Start a new bash shell
bash

4. Make a new conda environment for Dask that we call "dask" below. This should work with python2 or python3.
conda create -y -c conda-forge -n dask python=3 dask
conda activate dask

5. Install dask-jobqueue using pip:
pip install dask_jobqueue

6. Install this special version of afni python code (this is a beta version, not integrated into the AFNI code completely yet)
[afni.nimh.nih.gov]
and then pip install the package.
The local pip install must be done at the directory above the afni_python directory, and contains the setup.py file that specifies afni_python. Traverse down to the "python_scripts" directory. (this step lets python know where to look for other python files to import)

mkdir afni_template_beta
cd afni_template_beta
wget [afni.nimh.nih.gov]
tar xzvf python_template_beta1.tgz
cd python_scripts
pip install -e .

7. Test out the template script to see the help. This is one level down from the previous directory in the "afni_python" directory.
cd afni_python
./make_template_dask.py

8. Add the full path to the afni_python directory to path (put absolute path in .bashrc file) This allows you to call the python programs from the command line.

export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH

and add this to your .bashrc file with something like this:
echo export PATH = `pwd`:'$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc


9. There are three new python files needed here that are not yet in the standard AFNI python distribution:
make_template_dask.py - the controlling script. Configures Dask and checks options
construct_template_graph.py - the "meat" of the processing. Loops across subjects to create various mean templates and does the image processing.
regwrap.py - configuration of options and simple utility functions

The other python scripts are similar to the standard distribution except python imports for afni are all from the pipinstalled afni_python package.

10. Running this script with data and options (for debugging, precede this with "python -m pdb "… )

make_template_dask.py -ok_to_exist -dsets /data/DSST/template_making/testdata/sub-*_T1w.nii.gz \
-init_base /usr/local/apps/afni/current/linux_openmp_64/MNI152_2009_template.nii.gz \
-bokeh_port 8790 -dask_mode localcluster -anisosmooth \
-final_space SLU_elderly1.0


The localcluster is used here, but on a SLURM cluster, we use "-dask_mode SLURM". Also most importantly, you need to come up with a name for the output space name of the data.



11. Bokeh graphs and monitoring using port number used above.
start browser (firefox) [localhost]

\mkdir -p $outdir

cd $outdir



# ------------- RUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnn!...

export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1



#python -m pdb `which make_template_dask.py` \

#make_template_dask.py \

python -m pdb `which make_template_dask.py` \

-ok_to_exist \

-dsets `cat ${inilist}|tr '\n' ' '` \

-init_base $inibase \

-bokeh_port 8791 \

-no_strip -anisosmooth \

-aniso_iters 1 \

-max_threads 2 \

-aff_vol_rsz ${vol_affx} \

-cluster_walltime "71:59:00" \

-dask_mode localcluster \

-findtypical_final \

-final_space MYSPACENAME
