It would be nice to move cMind as a package to some standard Linux/BSD distributions, to be able to get it as apt-get install cmind / yum install cmind, for example.

We just need to check that it's ok to have modified BSD license and to check all dependencies. Any help is appreciated!

For now, the list of dependencies in minimal version is:

  • python (interpreter and core libraries)
  • numpy (A fast multidimensional array facility for Python)
  • curl (also optional technically speaking - need to check how heavy is it)

Extended functionality (GF: this is not required in the minimal version of cMind if it is used say just for running experiments and sending data to common repository - maybe we can check it later in the cMind itself after installation; otherwise it will be very heavy)

  • xterm to run experiments from the Web interface (and detach console)
  • java runtime (to run elasticsearch)
  • R - required for additional functionality (statistical analysis of the results, normality tests, off-the-shelf predictive models, etc)

Zbigniew suggested to try to do both Debian package (.deb) and Fedora (.yum); that will cover all major distributions, including SuSE and possibly Ubuntu.
