Installation
For more detailed installation instructions, usage examples, or to check for updated versions of bstr, please visit the bstr website: http://brainsuite.org/bstr/.
2.1. Prerequisites
Ensure BrainSuite is installed on your computer: http://brainsuite.org/download
Ensure R is installed on your computer: https://cran.r-project.org/
Install RStudio: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/#Desktop
Windows only: Install Rtools, available at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
2.2. Steps for installation
Open RStudio and enter the following commands to install bstr version 0.4.1.
You can pull directly from the BrainSuite server (Online Installation), or you can download the bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz file directly and install from your downloads folder.
Do not untar or uncompress bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz – the installer needs it in this format.
2.3. Online Installation
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_url('http://brainsuite.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz')
2.4. macOS or Linux - Install from folder
Replace /path/to/
with the path to the folder where you downloaded
bstr.
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_local('/path/to/bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz')
2.5. Windows - Install from folder
Note that on Windows, you will need to use double backslashes () in the
path because backslash is an escape character. You can also replace the
backslashes with forward slashes. Replace C:\\path\\to\\
or
C:/path/to/
with the path to the folder where you downloaded bstr.
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_local('C:\\path\\to\\bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz')
or
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_local('C:/path/to/bstr_0.4.1.tar.gz')
2.6. Check your installation
Type
library(bstr)
then
get_brainsuite_install_path()
This should display the BrainSuite installation path.
