Using programs

Several programs are in fact available: two software packages (BrainVISA and Anatomist), along with command lines from the Aims and Vip libraries. All the programs are independent of each other.

The launching of each program depends on the configuration defined in the previous section (cf. program start-up).

Program: BrainVISA

To use BrainVISA (after running a script for example, cf. previous paragraph), use the following command: brainvisa.

Go to the appendix to see the options for the brainvisa command, or enter one of the following command lines:

brainvisa -h
or
brainvisa --help

Program: Anatomist

The Anatomist application is therefore independent of BrainVISA. You can run Anatomist alone, without running BrainVISA. Anatomist will be described in another handbook.

The launch command depends entirely on your configuration (cf. program start-up) as defined in the previous section (i.e. brainvisa_setup then anatomist).

Command lines

You can also launch command lines, such as AimsFileInfo, independently of BrainVISA. Initiate a session with brainvisa_setup for example and run any command. To view information on a command, enter:

command_name -h

You will find all the commands in the /bin sub-directory or on the Web page http://brainvisa.info/doc/html/shfjcommands/commands.html.

The launch command will depend entirely on your configuration (cf. program start-up). If you launch the script or an alias (valid for one session), you can call these commands up directly.
