Installation from sourceΒΆ

Note

Currently, only Ubuntu 20.04 is officially supported for the NRP installation from source.

  • Set HBP folder, i.e.

    export HBP=~/NRP4

    You can add this variable to your ~/.bashrc so that it is always available:

    echo "export HBP=~/NRP4" >> ~/.bashrc

  • Make sure, that the $HBP folder exists

    mkdir -p "${HBP}"

  • clone/checkout there nrp-user-scripts repository

    cd "${HBP}"
git clone -b master https://bitbucket.org/hbpneurorobotics/nrp-user-scripts.git

  • clone/checkout nrp-backend, nrp-proxy, nrp-frontend, nrp-core repositories. This can be done with help of script from nrp-user-scripts (or manually)

    cd ${HBP}/nrp-user-scripts
./clone-all-repos

  • install nrp-core as usual and as desired, see NRP-Core Installation instructions.

  • add ${NRP_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/python3.8/site-packages and ${NRP_DEPS_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/python3.8/site-packages to PYTHONPATH

    export PYTHONPATH="${NRP_INSTALL_DIR}"/lib/python3.8/site-packages:"${PYTHONPATH}"
export PYTHONPATH="${NRP_DEPS_INSTALL_DIR}"/lib/python3.8/site-packages:"${PYTHONPATH}"

    You can also add it to ~/.bashrc.

  • clean old ~/.opt/nrpStorage (or set non-default STORAGE_PATH in ${HBP}/nrp-user-scripts/nrp_variables)

  • install nvm and then two versions of node 8 & 14

    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 8
nvm install 14

  • in nrp-user-scripts source nrp_variables

    cd "${HBP}"/nrp-user-scripts
