== Software == This section explains which volunteers contribute their free time to maintaining and updating the following freeware packages. For all commercial software, please see the committee responsible for purchasing the software. |
On the linux compute cluster, scientific software packages are installed in /imaging/local/software/<package name>/, e.g. /imaging/local/software/fsl. These package directories contain sub-directories for each different version, and then sometimes sub-directories for specific architectures, e.g. /imaging/local/software/fsl/v5.0.8/x86_64 contains the 64 bit version of FSL 5.0.8. |
Line 6: | Line 7: |
Manager: the person responsible for making sure that the software is as updated as users of this package require (often this is the most experienced/most vocal user). | General requests can be sent to members of the Methods group, including [[mailto:olaf.hauk@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk|Olaf Hauk]] and [[mailto:johan.carlin@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk|Johan Carlin]]. |
Line 8: | Line 9: |
Maintainer: the person responsible for performing updates to the software. | General IT requests should be sent to [[mailto:it-help@mrc-cbu.cma.ac.uk|IT help]]. They will reach the whole IT team, who will decide what to do with them. |
