[Brains-users] Brains2 Installation

[Ben Rogers]

Hello Ninand,

The relevant section of the wiki is the
Installing prebuilt binaries of BRAINS
section. This section briefly mentions how to do the installation. 
Comments are appreciated.

Please ignore the manual with regard to installation. The installation 
process has changed and the manual in this respect is in need of 
updating. That said, most other aspects of the manual are useful.

If you use an rpm for installation it does not matter what directory you 
install from. If using a tarball for installation you probably want to 
put the contents into /opt/ or /usr/.

If you have further questions please let me know.

Thanks,

Ben Rogers
