Installation

It's recommended to install pyFSViz through PyPI. Please note, this does not install FreeSurfer or FSL; those must be set up separately. See Prerequisites.

Requires Python 3.10 or newer.

pip install pyfsviz

With uv:

uv tool install pyfsviz

For a project-local environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install pyfsviz

Use the same shell (or job script) for the virtualenv and the FreeSurfer / FSL setup scripts. nipype finds mri_convert and flirt on PATH; a venv does not provide those binaries.

After install, continue with Quick start.
