Currently, NiMARE implements a range of image- and coordinate-based meta-analytic algorithms,
as well as several methods for advanced meta-analytic methods,
like automated annotation and functional decoding.
If you are interested in using a GUI to curate and perform large-scale meta-analyses along the lines of Neurosynth,
we recommend checking out [Neurosynth-Compose](https://compose.neurosynth.org/).
Neurosynth-Compose is a web application that takes over for Neurosynth,
allowing users to search across the literature and build large meta-analytic datasets,
which can then be analyzed with NiMARE.
## Installation
Please see our [installation instructions](https://nimare.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html)
for information on how to install NiMARE.
### Installation with pip
```
pip install nimare
```
### Local installation (development version)
```
pip install git+https://github.com/neurostuff/NiMARE.git
```
## Citing NiMARE
If you use NiMARE in your research, we recommend citing the Zenodo DOI associated with the NiMARE version you used,
as well as the Aperture Neuro journal article for the NiMARE Jupyter book.
You can find the Zenodo DOI associated with each NiMARE release at https://zenodo.org/record/6642243#.YqiXNy-B1KM.
