On start-up: Loading required package: rgl Some nat functions depend on a CMTK installation. See ?cmtk and README.md for details.

Trying to install cmtk: install.packages("cmtk") Warning in install.packages : package ‘cmtk’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.1.3)

Knitting NBLAST-algorithm fig: Quitting from lines 39-51 (NBLAST_algorithm.Rmd) Error in cmtk.bindir(check = TRUE) : Cannot find CMTK. Please install from http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cmtk and make sure that it is your path! Calls: ... xformpoints -> xformpoints.cmtkreg -> file.path -> cmtk.bindir

Can we add instructions to pre-install CMTK?

http://www.nitrc.org/frs/?group_id=212 CMTK-3.2.2-MacOSX-10.4-i686.dmg

Add also X11 for mac? http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

And is there an equivalent for windows?

This means that CMTK command line tools are not installed on this machine or that nat cannot find them for some reason.

cmtk is not an R package. Is this in a script?

As the message says CMTK needs to be installed from NITRC. Do you know if it has been?

After installing

http://www.nitrc.org/frs/?group_id=212 CMTK-3.2.2-MacOSX-10.4-i686.dmg

it works fine. I'll add it to the pre-requisite downloads.

Maybe also add a link to your instructions to install the binaries? http://flybrain.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=warping_manual:compile_cmtk_tools

I've done something, so pull before editing further. Best, G.
