osl-dynamics 1.2.4

Models for infering dynamics in neuroimaging data

See the read the docs page for a description of this project: https://osl-dynamics.readthedocs.io.

Installation

Here, we describe how to install osl-dynamics from source. We recommend using the conda environment files in /envs. For a generic linux machine, osl-dynamics can be installed in editable mode with:

git clone https://github.com/OHBA-analysis/osl-dynamics.git
cd osl-dynamics
conda env create -f envs/linux.yml
conda activate osld
pip install -e .

If you’re using a Mac then use the envs/mac.yml file to create the conda environment instead of envs/linux.yml. Note, the conda environments use pip to install TensorFlow, you may need to load/install additional libraries (such as CUDA/cuDNN) if you have GPU support.

Developers might want to clone the repo using SSH instead of HTTPS:

git clone [e-mail]:OHBA-analysis/osl-dynamics.git

Oxford specific computers

If you’re installing on the Oxford BMRC server, use envs/bmrc.yml. If you’re installing on the OHBA workstation, use envs/hbaws.yml. Note, the hbaws.yml environment will automatically install spyder and jupyter notebooks.

Installing within an osl environment

If you have already installed OSL you can install osl-dynamics in the osl environment with:

conda activate osl
cd osl-dynamics
pip install tensorflow
pip install -e .

Documentation

The read the docs page should be automatically updated whenever there’s a new commit on the main branch.

The documentation is included as docstrings in the source code. Please write docstrings to any classes or functions you add following the numpy style. The API reference documentation will only be automatically generated if the docstrings are written correctly. The documentation directory /doc also contains .rst files that provide additional info regarding installation, development, the models, etc.

To compile the documentation locally you need to install the required packages (sphinx, etc.) in your conda environment:

cd osl-dynamics
pip install -r doc/requirements.txt

To compile the documentation locally use:

python setup.py build_sphinx

The local build of the documentation webpage can be found in build/sphinx/html/index.html.

Releases

The process of packaging a python project is described here: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects.

A couple packages are needed to build and upload a project to PyPI, these can be installed in your conda environment with:

pip install build twine

The following steps can be used to release a new version:

1. Update the version number on line 5 of setup.cfg.

2. Commit the updated setup.cfg to the main branch of the GitHub repo.

3. Delete any old distributions that have been built (if there are any): rm -r dist.

4. Build a distribution in the osl-dynamics root directory with python -m build. This will create a new directory called dist.

5. Test the build by installing in a test conda environment with cd dist; pip install <build>.whl.

6. Upload the distribution to PyPI with twine upload dist/*. You will need to enter the username and password that you used to register with https://pypi.org.

7. Tag the commit uploaded to PyPI with the version number using the ‘Create a new release’ link on the right of the GitHub repo webpage.

The uploaded distribution will then be available to be installed with:

pip install osl-dynamics
