write an mneinstaller.py script inspired by fslinstaller.py

[agramfort]

just to avoid the issues we had on wednesday in Paris.

the script would:

• assume scientific python is there (eg anaconda)
• download the MNE-C code nightly adapted to the system
• update the .bashrc
• download mne-python and install it (optionally in user home)
• raise warning if mayavi, pysurfer are not installed.

any volunteer?

@agramfort I spoke with @satra who suggested to even go further and on the long run create an app along the lines of PsychoPy. Another suggestion of his was to take a look into setting up entire runtimes for future trainings using http://www.vagrantup.com/

Besides this +1 for this. I don't know why but this feels like something @mluessi might be interested in taking care of ;-)

@agramfort another thought that occured to me. Would it make sense to include mne-stable and update the MNE nighly build dmg and the installer such that it does all the magic required?

[agramfort]

well maybe but it's painful and only people at MGH can maintain it, which
is bad in the long run.

@agramfort do you still want this?

[agramfort]

keep this open. I think it would still be useful as we still recommend mne_analyze and mne_browse_raw

[larsoner]

I don't think we need this anymore because our MNE-C dependency has been lifted. @agramfort agreed?
