The file NiPy-VirtualBox-appliance.ova (2GB compressed) contains a virtual machine image of the Linux system (Debian stable) with a complete set of QE-nipy tutorials and related tools installed and configured. The software is available on Bugaboo westgrid supercomputer on shared directory for group wg-jerzy: home/szpunarb/scratch/MD/NiPy-VirtualBox-appliance.ova or can be downloaded from here.
