How to download HCP-YA dataset with command line on the Linux system?

[dadda fw]

Hello,

Is there a way to access HCP-YA data using command-line tools? I am hoping to download the complete set of processed imaging data to a server with no usable GUI/remote desktop interface. Is there any available way  via Aspera connect (Linux)?

THANKS

HI Xer,

We are working on a plan for implementing one or more alternatives to the Aspera GUI, but they are not yet in place. The HCP does not support command line access via Aspera due the version of Aspera we have.  For now, we recommend mounting some part of your cluster filesystem with adequate space on a machine where you can install Aspera Connect and open a browser with the Aspera Connect plugin. 

 

For Linux OSs we recommend using Chrome or Chromium plugins. One group reported Debian 11 with Chrome works, but they did not have success with Debian 12 or 13. This incompatibility might be due to the fact that our Aspera server has been in use for ~12 years and is aging. We should be able to get something else in place in the coming months, but we didn't want to hold up data releases when Aspera is still working for most users. 

 

Also, in the BALSA UI, you can filter for a subset of subjects using the Save Custom Subject Group button that will apply to both the non-imaging and imaging data packages that you can queue for download. Applying a filter would decrease the size of the downloads and perhaps give you an option for managing/transferring smaller chunks of the data to the desired destination.

 

 

Best,

Jenn
