I used to use fink, and then I switched to MacPorts; truthfully, neither of them really made me happy. Now I mostly use homebrew, and one real advantage (besides being faster and lighter weight) is that it’s very easy to get AFNI’s GUI programs up and running on a Mac.
- Install AFNI (you’ve probably already done this)
- Install Xcode (App Store)
- Install Homebrew
- ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)”
- Install PyQT
- brew install pyqt
- Set Python Path
- export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
- Consider adding the above line to your .bashrc or .profile (assuming Bash Shell)
- Run any AFNI uber_*.py programs
- uber_subject.py
- uber_ttest.py
- uber_align_test.py
