BrainVisPy is written in Python3 and uses PyQt5, python-qt5-gl, numpy and VTK.

Install and run

In the following, we describe how to install and run BrainVisPy on Windows, Linux and OS X.

Windows

We use 64bit Windows 8.

  • Install PyQt5, python-qt5-gl and numpy. Check on google.

  • Install VTK. Follow these instructions.

  • Set up environment variables. We assume that VTK is installed in C:\Program Files\VTK\7.0.0.

    • Add C:\Program Files\VTK\7.0.0\bin to the Path environment variable.
    • Add C:\Program Files\VTK\7.0.0\lib\python3.5\site-packages\vtk;C:\Program Files\VTK\7.0.0\lib\python3.5\site-packages to the PYTHONPATH environment variable (create one if it does not exist).

  • Run BrainVisPy.

    • Check out this repository or download the code. Open a command prompt and go to the directory containing main.py. Run python3 main.py
    • Alternatively, read here how to create a single executable file.

Linux

We use 64bit Ubuntu 14.

  • Install PyQt5, python-qt5-gl and numpy. Check on google.

  • Install VTK. Follow these instructions.

  • Set up environment variables. We assume that VTK is installed in /local/usr/vtk-7.0.0.

    • Add /local/usr/vtk-7.0.0/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
    • Add /local/usr/vtk-7.0.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages:/local/usr/vtk-7.0.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/vtk to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

  • Run BrainVisPy.

    • Check out this repository or download the code. Open a command prompt and go to the directory containing main.py. Run python3 main.py
    • Alternatively, read here how to create a single executable file.

OS X

We use OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.6).

  • Install PyQt5, python-qt5-gl and numpy. Check on google.

  • Install VTK. Follow these instructions.

  • Set up environment variables. We assume that VTK is installed in /usr/local/VTK/7.0.

    • Add /usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
    • Add /usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib/python3/site-packages:/usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib/python3/site-packages/vtk to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

    You can do both by adding

    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib/python3/site-packages:/usr/local/VTK/7.0/lib/python3/site-packages/vtk

    to the file .bash_profile which is in your home directory (create it if it doesn't exist).

  • Run BrainVisPy.

    • Check out this repository or download the code. Open a command prompt and go to the directory containing main.py. Run python3 main.py
    • Alternatively, read here how to create a single executable file.
