[Mne_analysis] Anaconda MNE-Python installation

[raij at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu]

Hi,

Would anyone have instructions how to set up Anaconda and MNE-Python to
run on a linux CentOS 6.5 workstation (non-Martinos)? My system possibly
already has some anaconda components (= /usr/lib/anaconda and
/usr/lib/anaconda/runtime/ exist). Typing "anaconda" in a tcsh terminal
while logged in as root launches an anaconda GUI installer.

I plan to install the developmental version of mne-python. I am using
tcsh. I can do this as root.

Looking at

https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python

I guess the installation it could be as simple as installing Anaconda with
the GUI and then hitting

pip install -e git+https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python#egg=mne-dev --user

However, I am unsure from which dir I should do the installations, and how
to set the paths correctly so that MNE-python will talk with Anaconda
(instead of other python versions included with CentOS).

Since several users in my lab will be using Anaconda and MNE-python on
this same linux box, would it make sense to have one central anaconda
installation instead of installing separately for every user? (I hope to
avoid having multiple python versions and virtualenv:s). If so, how would
the instructions change?

Eventually I would also like to install NVIDIA CUDA...

Thank you!

Tommi
