This page will show you how to setup the mne-cpp project in order to build and develop your own features with or based on the mne-cpp framework.

Get the mne-cpp source code: Here

  1. Git clone mne-cpp from the main repository (mne-tools/mne-cpp) or your forked repository from your own Git Hub account.


Compile the mne-cpp source code:

  1. Download the current Qt version:
    1. Go to the Qt download website.
    2. Select the appropriate version based on the compiler and platform you use.
      • For example if you are using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Compiler on a Windows 32bit system, select the "Qt 5.5.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2013, 823 MB)" version.
  2. Install the Qt version with the minimum of the following features:
    • Qt/Qt x.x/Pre-compiled Qt (i.e. Qt 5.5/msvc2013 32-bit)
    • Qt/Qt x.x/Qt3D
    • Qt/Tools/QtCreator
  3. Go to your cloned repository folder and run the mne-cpp/mne-cpp.pro file with the QtCreator.
  4. In QtCreator select the Release mode in the lower left corner.
  5. In the Qt Creator's Projects window, right mouse click on the top level mne-cpp tree item and select Run qmake.
  6. Right mouse click again and then hit Build (this step may take some time).
  7. After the build process is finished, go to the mne-cpp/bin folder. All applications and libraries should have been created throughout the build process.
  8. In case you do not have a windows debugger:
    1. Go to the Windows SDK download website
    2. Download and install the SDK (during the installation, select the Debugging Tools for Windows box and clear all the other boxes).
    3. Open the QtCreator and select the debugger under Tools/Options/Build & Run/Kits/[your Kit name goes here]/Debugger.


Optional - Get the sample data set:

  1. Download the MNE sample data from here.
  2. Open the tar.gz file (i.e. with 7zip) and extract the data into the mne-cpp/bin/MNE-sample-data folder.


Optional - Further reading:

  • Tutorial: How to create your first MNE-CPP application.
  • Tutorial: How to create your first MNE-X plugin.
  • Guide: How to contribute your code.
