DCEMapper offers two installation paths. Windows users can download a pre-built executable from the GitHub Releases page and run it immediately — no Python environment required. Developers, researchers on other platforms, or anyone who wants to modify the source code can instead clone the repository and create a Conda environment from the included environment.yml file.
DCEMapper requires Python 3.13 (specifically python=3.13.9 as pinned in environment.yml). If you are installing from source, make sure your Conda installation supports this version.
The fastest way to get started on Windows is the pre-built executable:
  1. Open the DCEMapper GitHub repository in your browser.
  2. Click the Releases section on the right-hand side of the repository page.
  3. Under the latest release, locate and download DCEMapper.exe.
  4. Double-click the downloaded file to launch the application.
No Python installation or environment setup is needed. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt the first time you run an unsigned executable — click More info → Run anyway to proceed.

Python dependencies

The key Python packages installed by environment.yml (pip section) are:
  • PyQt6 — Desktop GUI framework
  • nibabel — NIfTI file I/O
  • dipy — Diffusion/MRI processing (denoising, Gibbs removal)
  • numpy — Numerical array operations
  • scipy — Scientific computing utilities
  • scikit-image — Image processing algorithms
  • matplotlib — Canvas rendering and interactive selectors
  • brkraw — Bruker raw data conversion to NIfTI
See environment.yml for the full list of pinned versions.
