Talairach Dataset - installation instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
The Talairach dataset (TTatlas+tlrc) is an AFNI dataset containing the
Talairach Daemon structural database.
It can be used in AFNI in many ways. Examples include the "Where Am I?",
"Talairach To", and "Atlas Colors" features in the Image windows, "TT Atlas
Region" loading in the 'Draw Dataset' plugin, and "TT Atlas" viewing in the
Renderer.
To use such functionality in afni, it is enough to copy that dataset into
the AFNI bin directory (the user's location for the AFNI programs).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: download AFNI's Talairach dataset
The TTatlas+tlrc dataset can be downloaded from pub/dist/tgz. It is
important to download both the .HEAD and .BRIK files. Or download via
the 'wget' command:
wget http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/tgz/TTatlas+tlrc.HEAD
wget http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/tgz/TTatlas+tlrc.BRIK.gz
Step 2: move this dataset into the directory containing the AFNI binaries
There should be two files, TTatlas+tlrc.BRIK.tgz and TTatlas+tlrc.HEAD.
Move these files to the location of the AFNI binaries (such as 'afni',
'Imon' or 'to3d'). Hopefully that location is the directory ~/abin.
Verify with the commands:
ls -l ~/abin/to3d
which to3d
This should show a long listing of the '/home/USER/abin/to3d' file
(the program), followed by the output of 'which to3d' showing the same
file, '/home/USER/abin/to3d'.
Once you are sure of where to put the dataset, go ahead and move it:
mv TTatlas+tlrc.* ~/abin
Step 3: start 'afni', and have fun!
