To get the latest code using git, simply type:

git clone git://github.com/nice-tools/nice.git

If you don't have git installed, you can download a zip or tarball of the latest code: https://github.com/nice-tools/nice/archives/master

As any Python packages, to install NICE, go in the nice source code directory and do:

python setup.py install

or if you don't have admin access to your python setup (permission denied when install) use:

python setup.py install --user

You can also install the latest latest development version with pip:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/nice-tools/nice#egg=nice-dev --user

The required dependencies to build the software are: * python >= 2.7 | python >= 3.4 * scipy >= 0.18.1 * numpy >= 1.11.1 * h5py >= 2.6.0

And principally, mne-python >= 0.13: http://mne-tools.github.io/stable/index.html

Some functions require pandas >= 0.7.3.

To run the tests you will also need nose >= 0.10.

To use wSMI with CSD you need pycsd: https://github.com/nice-tools/pycsd/

Aditionally, we ship optimized versions of some algorithms. To build, just go to the nice soure code directory and do:

make

To run the test suite, you need nosetests and the coverage modules. Run the test suite using:

nosetests

from the root of the project.
