[pymvpa] Help request: install pyMVPA

[Sheen, David A.]

I would generally recommend using Anaconda. This is a Python package 
that includes the numpy and scipy packages that pymvpa needs in order to 
run properly. You can install it on your existing NeuroDebian system.

You have to install pymvpa outside of Python 
(http://www.pymvpa.org/installation.html). I recommend building from 
source, in which case you would use

brain at neurodebian:~$ git clone git://github.com/PyMVPA/PyMVPA.git
brain at neurodebian:~$ cd PyMVPA
brain at neurodebian:~$ python setup.py build_ext
brain at neurodebian:~$ python setup.py install--prefix 
/path/where/you/want/pymvpa/to/be/built

(note that these suggestions are taken from the pymvpa website and you 
should read the installation directions under "Building from Source" for 
completeness)

After you do this, and make sure that pymvpa is added to your python 
path, you can python into python and import mvpa2.
