Installation

You can install the development version of verywise from GitHub.

Note

: you may need to install the devtools package first (if it is not already installed).

# Install devtools (if not there yet)
if (!requireNamespace("devtools"))
  install.packages('devtools')

# Install verywise
devtools::install_github("SereDef/verywise")

This will also download some other R packages that are needed, so give it a little minute.

Finally, you can attach the package to make it easier to use, like so:

library(verywise)
#> Welcome, verywise user!
#> This is version: 1.2.0
#> For questions, issues, and bug reports, please see https://github.com/SereDef/verywise

System and software requirements

In order for verywise to run smoothly, you will need:

  • R (version >= 4.1) installed (Dah!).
  • A Unix system: verywise works on Mac and on most Linux distributions, but not on Windows. This is because we currently rely on functions from the FreeSurfer suite which require Unix/Mac.
  • FreeSurfer installed.
