Usage on Pitzer

Set-up

To configure your environment for use of AFNI, run the following command: module load afni. The default version will be loaded. To select a particular AFNI version, use module load afni/version. For example, use module load afni/2021.6.10 to load AFNI 2021.6.10.

AFNI is installed in a singularity container.  AFNI_IMG environment variable contains the container image file path. So, an example usage would be

module load afni
singularity exec $AFNI_IMG suma

This command will open the SUMA GUI environment, and we recommend Ondemand VDI or Desktop for GUI.
