These instructions have moved to: HowTo Install AFNI

    These AFNI installation instructions are simplified for a fast install
    by avoiding installation of fink.  Without fink, the user_*.py programs
    will not be usable (unless pyqt4 is installed another way).  But those
    programs are not necessary.

    So the only needed instructions are in part #4.


  * Note that 10.8 does not come with X11 (or XQuartz) installed.  When afni
    is started for the first time, you should be directed (by the operating
    system) to a link to install XQuartz.


1. account setup
    Assuming a user account exists, these steps are all optional
    (because X11 comes installed by default on 10.7 and 10.8).

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

        Note: Admin privleges are only needed for fink, so that is optional.

    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.  There are 3 applications
        that this might apply to, so we make sure...

        From a terminal window, enter:

           defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_ffm -bool true
           defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true
           defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string YES

2. Xcode installation
    Xcode is only needed for a compiler, which is only needed for fink.
    This is skipped for now.

3. Fink installation
    Skipped for now.  No uber*.py...  <sniff!>

4. AFNI installation
    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_10.7_Intel_64.tgz
          tar -xzf macosx_10.7_Intel_64.tgz
          mv macosx_10.7_Intel_64 abin
          rm macosx_10.7_Intel_64.tgz

    4b. Update the path and library path.

        tcsh users:

          echo 'set path = ( $path $HOME/abin )' >> .cshrc
          echo 'setenv DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/abin' >> .cshrc
          source .cshrc
          rehash

        bash users:

          echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/abin' >> .profile
          echo 'export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/abin' >> .profile
          . .profile

    4c. Try it out!  If these start, you should be in good shape.  Note that
        10.8 users may need to follow the link to install XQuartz.

          afni
          suma

    4d. 10.8 - install XQuartz

        When prompted, install XQuartz.

    4e. (optional, but helpful)  Update help files for tab-completion.
        Run this command, and then follow the brief instructions.

          apsearch -update_all_afni_help

    4f. Get sample data and review AFNI handouts.
