DSI Studio has a high version turning rate, and occasionally the computation outcome may be different between versions. I would recommend keepping a local copy of DSI Studio for each research project and update DSI Studio every time if a new project is initiated.

Containers
Docker
docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $PWD:/data dsistudio/dsistudio:latest
Singularity
$ singularity pull docker://dsistudio/dsistudio:latest # This creates a singularity container *.sif file from the latest release of DSI Studio. Make sure you keep a copy of .sif file for your results
$ singularity exec -B /var,/run -B /home/server/folder dsistudio_latest.sif dsi_studio # Some cluster does not allow users to access host drive, and you may need to mount folder into singularity container
$ singularity exec dsistudio_latest.sif dsi_studio # This invoke the graphic interface of DSI Studio
$ singularity exec dsistudio_latest.sif dsi_studio --action=rec --source=my.src.gz # call DSI Studio command line interface in the singularity container

Commercial Use
DSI Studio’s general license prohibits commercial use because the package include components that are either under different parties/licenses (e.g. TinyFSL under the FSL license or some atlases owned by different entities) or patents. Commercial use thus requires licensing from different parties, depending on the functions and resources involved. To avoid possible copyright or patent infringement, please consult Frank Yeh about the strategies.
A list of known components with a different license:
- TinyFSL: FSL License.
- Alases: each atlas includes its own license or usage agreement.
Hardware recommendation:
To achieve the best performance, I would recommend a computer with a multi-core CPU (e.g. http://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/business-solutions/z840-workstation). Minimum memory of 16GB is needed. To handle a large number of tracks or image volumes, DSI Studio will need 32GB of memory or more.
