Introduction

Currently, MIA is installed manually into Fiji; however, in a future update it will be switched to a Fiji update site. If problems are encountered, please see the troubleshooting page. For any issues not covered on the troubleshooting page, you can submit an issue via GitHub.

Downloading and installing

  1. Before installing MIA, please ensure your copy of Fiji and all other plugins are up to date using Fiji's Updater tool (Help > Update...).
  2. All previously released versions of MIA can be downloaded from the Releases page (the most recent version will appear first in the list). Download the "MIA_-x.x.x.jar" file (where "x.x.x" denotes the version number)
  3. Place the MIA .jar file into the "/plugins" directory of your Fiji installation.
  4. MIA requires the "MorphoLibJ" plugin to be installed:
    • For MIA versions before 0.11.0: Launch and add the "IJPB-plugins" update site, then restart Fiji.
    • For MIA versions 0.11.0 or newer: Start MIA as usual (Plugins > MIA > MIA (Modular Image Analysis)), then click "Yes" when prompted to automatically download the updates.
  5. To verify installation, run MIA from Plugins > MIA > MIA (Modular Image Analysis). If working correctly, the MIA interface should be displayed after a couple of seconds.

What next?!

You're now ready to start using MIA. For instructions on running pre-prepared workflows (distributed as .mia files) please see the Using existing workflows guide. Alternatively, you can find instructions on developing new workflows in the Creating workflows guide.
