Gentoo Linux for Neuroscience - a replicable, flexible, scalable, rolling-release environment that provides direct access to development software

摘要

We have made a substantial set of neuroimaging and data analysis packages - including their entire dependency stacks - available for any system using Gentoo's Package Management Standard. Neuroscientific software now usable under Gentoo includes but is not limited to: Dipy (Garyfallidis et al. 2014) FSL (Jenkinson et al. 2012) Nipype (Gorgolewski et al. 2016) Nilearn (Abraham et al. 2014) PsychoPy (Peirce 2008) Herein we describe the implementation and current capabilities of this environment, as well as its ability to accelerate and improve research.
