Fig. 1 |. The Neurodesk platform.
a, Neurodesk is built by and for the scientific community, enabling anyone to contribute containers. b, Community-contributed software recipes are automatically used to build software containers stored in the Neurocontainers repository. c, Each container packages a tool together with all its dependencies. d, Neurodesk provides two layers of accessibility: (1) Neurodesktop: a browser-accessible virtual desktop environment; (2) Neurocommand: a command-line interface that runs the same software containers programmatically. These interfaces allow users to reproduce analyses across computing environments (HPC: high-performance computing).
