Good Afternoon,

I am having issues installing CBS tools. I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I have tried installing both the latest release of MIVAP and an older version, as I noticed your documentation said that newer versions of MIVAP may not work with some Linux distributions. However, I am having the same problem with both versions.

When I try to add the Jar package for CBS tools, my terminal indicates it can't find any of the class files. I know they are there, but it cannot find them within the folders. Is there anything I should be doing to the Jar file before trying to add it?

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you,
MM

Hello,

The latest (3.0.8) version of the CBS Tools should work with any release version of MIPAV from 7.0 onward, so far.
You also need a recent JIST version (3.2), conveniently included in the CBS Tools 'bundle'. To install those, just unzip the bundle, start MIPAV, and there select the jar files under 'plugins->install plugins'. No need to uncompress them. Whether you get a positive (plugins installed etc.) or negative ('no plugins installed, select proper file') the files have been installed, and you then just need to select to install the JIST layout tool and process manager from the ~/mipav/plugins directory (if not already installed). Details on this procedure are given in the CBSTools user guide, although the version numbers indicated there are older.
Cheers,

Pilou

Thank you for your response! I think I have it installed properly now.

The documentation I have is named user-guide-r3.0.pdf, in it there is mention of a library of standard pipelines for preprocessing. Are these available somewhere in the jar file or can they be downloaded elsewhere?

Additionally, I am interested in the laminar analysis. I've read the Waehnert paper, but I was wondering if there was any further documentation regarding how to use the software for this type of analysis.

Thank you for your help,

Maggie

I just found the included LayoutXML files. Are these what are referenced as the library of standard pipelines?

Thanks again!

I am experiencing a similar problem with my installation - MIPAV 7.4.0 running on OSX 10.11.6 and the CBS bundle 3.0.8. I unpacked the .zip bundle and select the .jar files for installation. After clicking the Install Plugin(s) button, about a minute passes before I receive the expected pessimistic message 'No plugins were installed, please select valid MIPAV plugin files.' However, the plugins are not visible in the Plugins menu before or after restarting mipav. The time delay between clicking the install button and receiving the pessimistic message suggests the plugins were installed, but are not appearing in the Plugins menu. Any ideas as to why the plugins may not show up in the menu?

Thanks for any help.

Ian

[UPDATE]
Never mind. I found Kevin Aquino's post below and solved the issue. Thanks anyways.
