How is this calculated?

A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Install ASLPrep in Python 3.10 Install ASLPrep with pip into a Python 3.10 environment, then run aslprep --version to confirm it works. If that command fails, ASLPrep is not set up correctly and your jobs will not start. source
  • Build the Singularity image first Use singularity build aslprep-<version>.simg docker://pennlinc/aslprep:<version> to save the ASLPrep container (a packaged app file) locally, replacing <version> with a real version. Without that .simg file, Singularity run has nothing to launch. source
  • Protect home and environment in container Run with --cleanenv and bind your home folder using -B $HOME:/home/aslprep --home /home/aslprep. This stops settings from your computer and a missing writable home folder from causing confusing errors or lost files. source

Common questions

Should I install ASLPrep with pip or use a container?

Container technologies are recommended. A bare-metal installation means manually preparing a Python 3.10+ environment because ASLPrep also depends on other neuroimaging libraries.

Can I run ASLPrep on BIDS data with minimal configuration?

With BIDS input, little or no parameters are required, and ASLPrep adapts its preprocessing steps to the input dataset.

What outputs are generated after a successful run?

ASLPrep generates preprocessed ASL data, computed CBF maps, confound quality metrics, preprocessed structural images, and one HTML report per subject.

Can the outputs be used for group-level analyses?

The outputs can be submitted to group-level analyses such as task-based or resting-state CBF, graph theory measures, and surface-based or volume-based statistics.
