brain-browser v1.0.2

Brain Browser

Brain browser is a web-based image viewer for local brain images.

npm

How to install

You will first need npm, the node package manager, which comes with both node itself and npm. You can install by compiling from source. I would not recommend package managers node/npm as they seem to be out of date (Ubuntu was). Make sure that both node and npm are on your path:

  which npm
  which node

Now you can easily install the brain-browser from the node package manager!

  sudo npm install brain-browser -g

The -g flag indicates a global install, which typically places the executable in /usr/local/bin. To find it:

  which bb

How to run

When browsing around your brain images, simply type bb to run the executable, and point your browser to

  http://localhost:9099

Additional arguments

You can specify a port, or to exclude files of a particular type:

-p, --port <port>        Port to run the file-browser. Default value is 8088
-e, --exclude <exclude>  File extensions to exclude (for multiple, do -e .js -e .css)

Troubleshooting

  /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

This usually indicates that node cannot be found on your path.
