Hello All,

I'm working on setting up NIAK with Singularity on our local Linux server. I am having a problem running niak_pipeline_fmri_preprocess.m

I open the Octave session with Singularity and NIAK loaded using this terminal command: psom_console.sh -p /usr/local/share/singularity/niak-boss-0.17.0.img

When I run the niak_tutorial_fmri_preprocessing command I get the following error message, and this is the same error message I received previously when running niak_pipeline_fmri_preprocess using the files_in and opt arguments just as is done online, but with my own files. Please let me know if you have any ideas for next steps.

Best Regards,
Aki

Hi Aki,

Sorry for the late answer. Could you please give it a try with the new 0.18.1 release?
https://hub.docker.com/r/simexp/niak-bos...

Best,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

My apologies, I'm a little unclear on what do download and what to do with it. We are running NIAK on Singularity instead of Docker, would there be a Singularity .img file you can point me to for the 0.18.1 release?

best regards,
Aki

Hi Aki,

I believe soon you will be able to pull directly images from docker hub using singularity. In the meantime we are releasing the images on github, as binaries: 
https://github.com/SIMEXP/niak/releases

Check the link to niak-boss-0.18.1.img.gz

Best,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Thanks! We were able to convert the docker image to singularity and run it successfully on our local server.

Thanks for the help!

Best,
Aki

Very happy to hear that! 

Best,

Pierre
