4 The Ultimate Neuroscience Software Platform
5 *********************************************
7 NeuroDebian provides a large collection of popular neuroscience research
8 software for the Debian_ operating system as well as Ubuntu_ and other
9 derivatives. Popular packages include FSL, Freesurfer, AFNI, PyMVPA and
10 :ref:`many others <pkglists>`. While we do strive to maintain a high level of
11 quality, we make no guarantee that a given package works as expected, so use
12 them at your own risk. If you do encounter problems or would just like to thank
13 us, simply `send us an email <#contacts>`_.

58 Instructions for Debian-derived systems
61 You can enable NeuroDebian on your system by simply copying and pasting the
62 following two commands into a terminal window. This will add the NeuroDebian
63 repository to your native package management system, and you will be able to
64 install neuroscience software the same way as any other package.
69 After selecting a release the setup code will be shown here.
72 Now you can update the package index and you are ready to install packages.
73 Of course you can use your favorite package manager (e.g. synaptic, adept)
74 for this. In the terminal you can use :command:`apt-get`::
77 sudo apt-get install mricron
79 You are ready to go -- enjoy NeuroDebian!
83 Not every package is available for all distributions/releases. For information
84 about which package version is available for which release and architecture,
85 please have a look at the corresponding package pages.

93 Instructions for non-Debian systems
96 For all non-Debian operating systems we recommend to deploy NeuroDebian as a
97 `virtual appliance`_ (virtual machine). On all modern hardware (built within
98 the last 3-4 years) a virtual appliance is a convenient solution to run
99 NeuroDebian simultaneously with the primary operating system -- without
100 noticeable performance loss. To start using NeuroDebian:
102 1. Download this image file:
106 <div id="vmimagedownload">
107 <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/debian/vm/">NeuroDebian images</a>
110 2. Import this image into VirtualBox_. If you do not have VirtualBox_
111 installed yet, visit the `VirtualBox download page
112 <http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads>`_ and get an installer for your
113 system (installers for Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris are available).
115 3. Finish the configuration by following :ref:`the instructions on setting up
116 the virtual appliance <chap_vm>`.
118 You are ready to go -- enjoy NeuroDebian!
122 If you still running an older VirtualBox 3.x, download one of the image files
123 listed below. These older releases are distributed as a `zip` file. Please
124 extract all files from the `.zip` file, using appropriate software
125 for your operating system.
