Dear all MNE experts,

After downloading MNE-2.7.3-3268-Linux-i686.tar.gz and unpack it on the  
desk, I don't know how to install MNE on my CentOS 6.

Because allow this page:  
[http://martinos.org/mne/manual/AppInstall.html](http://martinos.org/mne/manual/AppInstall.html)

I can't find the installer package (\<name\>.pkg) that the page said to  
double click it, so I want to know how to start the installer ?

Thank you,  
YunTing Huang

hi,

you need to install from a tar archive:

[http://martinos.org/mne/manual/AppInstall.html#installing-from-a-compressed-tar-archive](http://martinos.org/mne/manual/AppInstall.html#installing-from-a-compressed-tar-archive)

.pkg is for mac os.

so:

tar zxvf MNE-2.7.3-3268-Linux-i686.tar.gz  
export MNE\_ROOT=${PWD}/MNE-2.7.3-3268-Linux-i686 # or setenv MNE\_ROOT  
${PWD}/MNE-2.7.3-3268-Linux-i686  
source $MNE\_ROOT/bin/mne\_setup\_sh

the last lines are described in:

[http://martinos.org/mne/manual/list.html?highlight=mne\_setup\_sh#user-environment](http://martinos.org/mne/manual/list.html?highlight=mne_setup_sh#user-environment)

hope this helps

Alex
