My lab is trying to create a data pipeline for our MRI data to convert it into BIDS format. We use a Cluster Hosting Program so I do not think we are able to install any container software to help us convert to BIDS. We came across Heudiconv however the Github page lacks a guide on how to use Heudiconv without docker although they make it sound like it is possible.
Anyone use Heudiconv without docker? Anyone have another converting to BIDS without a container solution?
Thanks!
Iād say that the best way to know all dependencies is reading through the Dockerfile - https://github.com/nipy/heudiconv/blob/2ff09b1a1b77282c9a10a74799d280db1bc4f85b/Dockerfile
But, before trying the installation yourself or getting the sysadmins annoyed I would consider Singularity first as an alternative to Docker. It is amenable to multi-tenant clusters so probably your sysadmins will be more open to install it.
Please see https://fmriprep.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#singularity-container
