Darwin Ports

http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/

Install Darwin Ports Grabbed from this page:

http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/ 

http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.3.dmg

Subversion

You will need subversion to get recent copies of numpy and matplotlib 

sudo port install subversion

Start NiPy Dependencies Install

So.. Once you have Darwin Ports installed, open a terminal

wxpython 

sudo port install py-wxpython

This took a while, so code on something else, or get another cup of coffee (beer)

numpy 

svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/ ./numpy-trunk
cd numpy-trunk/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

zlib-devel 

sudo port install zlib

freetype 

sudo port install freetype

agg 

sudo port install antigraingeometry

tk 

sudo port install tk

py-tkinter 

sudo port install py-tkinter

gtk2 

sudo port install gtk2

Note: gtk2 failed on install so I installed and used FINK

https://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php

(Make sure to add . /sw/bin/init.sh to your .profile, .bashrc, or .bash_profile file) 

fink install pkgconfig
fink install gtk+2

py-gtk2 

sudo port install py-gtk2

or 

fink install pygtk

matplotlib (intall from svn) 

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk matplotlib-trunk
cd matplotlib-trunk
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

scipy (install from svn) 

svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk ./scipy-trunk
cd scipy-trunk/

NOTE: We are using Jonathan Taylor's models package in the scipy sandbox. To include them create a file in Lib/sandbox/ called enabled_packages.txt containing the just the word 'models'. 

echo models > Lib/sandbox/enabled_packages.txt

I also had to install a fortran compiler, gfortran caused errors, but g77 worked fine.

You can now build scipy: (This also takes a while...a watched compile always fails) 

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

Install netcdf: 

sudo port install netcdf

This failed so I used FINK again: 

sudo fink install netcdf

Install MINC:

NOTE: include and lib point to fink location of netcdf

http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/minc-1.4.1.tar.gz 

download http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/minc-1.4.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf minc-1.4.tar.gz (if it is not automatic)
CFLAGS=-I/sw/include LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib ./configure
perl -pi -e 's/CLK_TCK/CLOCKS_PER_SEC/g' volume_io/Prog_utils/time.c
make
sudo make install

install NIPY:

Note: netcdf installed by fink so netcdf include files are in /sw/include 

svn co http://neuroimaging.scipy.org/svn/ni/ni/trunk ./nipy-trunk
cd nipy-trunk
python setup.py build_ext -I/sw/include --inplace
