LONI Distributed Pipeline Server (DPS) Installation Utility

DPS is a utility that streamlines the process of setting up an independent Pipeline environment. The interface walks a user through several steps, providing default preferences along the way, but also gives the user flexibility in configuring the resulting system. As a result, this tool is designed to be used by neuroscientists, bioinformaticians, and system administrators alike.
