This is a packer set of build scripts which takes
the Ubuntu mini.iso file, installs a minimal Lubuntu-core desktop, followed
by installing all of the MINC family of tools as well as R/RStudio for
statistical analysis.
You can find the VMs for download at: http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/virtual-machines/
The download file is an importable OVA VM, configured for use with VirtualBox. Import into the virtual machine into VirtualBox. If you wish to run analysis/processing on larger datasets, don't forget to assign more CPUs and more memory to the virtual machine on import.
For help with importing VMs see:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26217_01/E26796/html/qs-import-vm.html
This VM is built against Virtualbox 6.0.12, if you have problems with Display/brain-view2, or rstudio, you may need to upgrade your Virtualbox or disable 3D acceleration in your configuration.
Getting files into and out of the VM is accomplished via the the shared folder
feature. Shared folders are automatically mounted inside /media/minc
For help with shared folders in VirtualBox see http://www.htpcbeginner.com/setup-virtualbox-shared-folders-linux-windows/
All software is globally installed and available via the LXTerminal in the Lubuntu menu.
To install additional software, the use the sudo apt tools, the user
password is minc
There is no need to install virutalbox guest additions, they are already installed in the VM
