==== Using the CTF DataEditor with a Singularity Container ==== |
|||
The current version of the '''CTF DataEditor tool''' runs under CentOS (Linux) version 6.9. To support the MEG user community, |
|||
[mailto:holroydt@mail.nih.gov Tom Holroyd] has created a [https://singularity.lbl.gov/index.html Singularity] container for CentOS 6.9 and populated the container with the necessary libraries to run the DataEditor tool. This allows MEG users to run the DataEditor tool under the operating system (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux) of their choice. |
|||
Singularity is a |
|||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization Operating-system-level virtualization] solution where an operating system |
|||
can host another operating system in an isolated container. To run a Singularity container on your operating system, you need to install the Singularity software for your operating system. There are install packages for the major operating systems from the [https://singularity.lbl.gov/index.html Singularity website.] |

: Copy the ctf-6.1.14-beta.img to your /data directory. |
|||
: Either add '''module load singularity''' to your ~/.bashrc startup file or type this on the command line. |
|||
: Use the following bash script to shell into the singularity container. |
|||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> |
|||
#!/bin/bash |
|||
# goctf.sh |
|||
singularity shell --bind /data/username:/mnt/data ctf-6.1.14-beta.img |
|||
killall -s msgd 2>/dev/null |
|||
</syntaxhighlight> |
|||
The DataEditor communicates with other CTF tools using the '''msgd''' service and the DataEditor will automatically |
|||
launch this service if it isn't running. The trouble on felix.nih.gov is this service is not killed when you exit from the singularity container and you will end up with a persistent process on felix. To prevent this from occurring, make sure msgd goes away. |
|||
You may want to add this stanza to your ~/.bashrc file on felix.nih.gov. |
|||
This sets the command prompt and the command history format for inside the container |
|||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> |
|||
if [ ! -z "$SINGULARITY_CONTAINER" ]; then |
|||
## PS1 is set inside the container |

HISTFILE=~/.bash_history |
|||
HISTTIMEFORMAT='%Y%m%d/%H:%M:%S ' |

export PS1='[\h \w]$ ' |

</syntaxhighlight> |

MEG Data Analysis
This section covers all aspects of MEG data analysis. The following pages assume that you have AFNI installed and have a reasonably good idea of how to use it.
