BrainVISA developers' website

Overview

BrainVISA is a neuroimaging software platform for mass data analysis

All the information for users of BrainVISA is on brainvisa.info. This website (dev.brainvisa.info) is meant for developers. It focuses on building BrainVISA from source, programming APIs, and packaging.

BrainVISA consists of an ecosystem of software projects, each of which may be divided into several components. These projects are interdependent and require coordinated releases: therefore, we strongly recommend following the guidelines below for setting up a development environment.

Setting up a development environment

[!IMPORTANT] BrainVISA is transitioning from a monolithic container-based distribution (BrainVISA 5) to a modular Conda/pixi-based distribution (BrainVISA 6).

• Development environment for BrainVISA 6 (in progress)
• Development environment for BrainVISA 5
