Multiple versions of SPM

[parnesh...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to have multiple versions of SPM in the matlab path and choose appropriate version from the nipype script? I would like to have spm8 and spm12b available.

yes from within nipype but you should not add them to the matlab's path.

to set globally for all matlab interfaces:

from nipype.interfaces import matlab as mlab

mlab.MatlabCommand.set_default_paths('/cm/shared/openmind/spm/spm12b/spm12b_r5918/')

to set for all spm interfaces:

from nipype.interfaces import spm

spm.SPMCommand.set_mlab_paths(paths='/cm/shared/openmind/spm/spm12b/spm12b_r5918/')

to set for a specific node:

spm_node.inputs.paths = '/cm/shared/openmind/spm/spm12b/spm12b_r5918/'

the global options should be set before any spm or matlab interface is imported (typically at the top of the script)

Ah I see, I was setting the paths in matlab. Thanks.
