pip install pandas  
pip install re
pip install uuid
pip install bqapi
pip install lxml

4. edit #username# and #password# in UpLoadHCPfiles.py at line #11

bq_session = BQSession().init_local('#username#', '#password#', bisque_root=BISQUE_ROOT_URL, create_mex=True)

5. Run the code

python UpLoadHCPfiles.py

Explaination

line#8: this is the declaration of the path of .csv file

CSV_PATH = './HCPMetadata.csv'

line#9: this is the path of what directory you want to upload and here is the whole HCP dataset directory path in Brain server

BASE_FILE_PATH = '/cluster/brain/connectome_disks'

line#10: here is the Bisque root url which will add to the url of metadata and send to Bisque

BISQUE_ROOT_URL = 'https://bisque.ece.ucsb.edu'
