Dependencies

ndar_unpack needs the following to run:

• boto

• pydicom

To actually do anything useful, ndar_unpack will also need:

• FreeSurfer for most operations

• FSL for thumbnail generation

• nifti_tool from niftilib for NIfTI header dumping

• nibabel with Minc2Image for MINC2 support

• SimpleITK for NRRD support

Run ndar_unpack -S to run a self-check and report what components are found and what components are missing.
