Consider reading platform specific requirements listed below.

=== Linux ===
* [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.9
* [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
* [{{tool|download|svn}} Svn]
* Qt 4.7.4 or 4.8.4. See details [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions/Prerequisites/Qt#Linux|here]]

==== Ubuntu / Debian ====
'''For Ubuntu 13.04''' note that you must download or install the standard cmake from [http://cmake.org/] because the version of cmake that comes with Ubuntu 13.04 cannot be used to build slicer.

*Ubuntu, Debian squeeze, Debian testing (wheezy) users, just type the following line in a terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion git-core git-svn
sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev libncurses5-dev

mkdir ~/Support && cd Support # This is where we will download and install required software

# By copying this one-liner in your terminal, it will download and extract CMake
cmake_package="cmake-2.8.11.2-Linux-i386"; \
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/$cmake_package.tar.gz -v -O $cmake_package.tar.gz && \
tar -xzvf $cmake_package.tar.gz;

# By copying this one-liner, symbolic links to cmake tools will be created in /usr/local/bin.
# That way calling cmake, ctest, ... from the command line will resolve to this version of CMake.
for tool in cmake ccmake ctest cpack; do sudo ln -s ~/$cmake_package/bin/$tool /usr/local/bin/$tool; done



==== CentOS ====
*CentOS user type:
yum install make gcc-c++ libX11-devel libXt-devel libXext-devel libGLU-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel ncurses



=== MacOSX ===
* Mac Os X >= 10.5 (Leopard)
* [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.9
** For Mac Os X >= 10.8 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mountain_Lion Mountain Lion]) and/or recent XCode >= 4.5.X - [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.11 is required. See http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.11-Darwin64-universal.tar.gz


$ curl -O http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.11-Darwin64-universal.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf cmake-2.8.11-Darwin64-universal.tar.gz --strip-components=1

$ CMake\ 2.8-11.app/Contents/bin/cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.11

* [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
* [{{tool|download|svn}} Svn]

* XCode (for the SDK libs)
* Qt 4.7.4 or 4.8.4. See details [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions/Prerequisites/Qt#Mac|here]]
* XQuartz - For Mac Os X >= 10.8 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mountain_Lion Mountain Lion]) install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) to get X11 (no longer a default in OS X).


=== Windows ===
* [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.9

* Qt 4.7.4 or 4.8.4. See details [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions/Prerequisites/Qt#Windows|here]]

* [https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?can=3 ''Git-X.X.X-preview2013XXXX.exe''] recommended.

** {{note}}For convenience, you could update the PATH variable so that ''git'' can be automatically discovered when configuring Slicer. If not, you will have to specify the GIT_EXECUTABLE at configure time.
* [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download SlikSvn] 
* NSIS (optional): Needed if packaging Slicer - Click [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download here] to download.
* IDE
** '''Tested/Recommended''': [https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions Microsoft Visual Studio 9 2008] (Any edition).
*** Make sure to install:
**** SP1. Click [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=10986 here] to download SP1 and click [http://massmail.spl.harvard.edu/public-archives/slicer-devel/2012/008206.html here] to understand the motivation.
** '''Experimental''': The plan is to support [https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions Microsoft Visual Studio 2010] (Any edition). {{note}} NOTE THAT EXPERIMENTAL MEANS THIS DOESN'T YET WORK :)
*** Make sure to install:
**** SP1. Click [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=23691 here] to download SP1 and click [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/why_do_all_qt_4.7_applications_crash_when_using_windows_7_x64_w_vs_2010 here] to understand the motivation.
**** SP1 Compiler update. Click [https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4422 here] to download and [http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/Windows-7-64Bits-Slicer-4-Build-with-VC-2010-problem-tt3730524.html#a3731661 here] to understand the motivation.


** '''Experimental''' (Visual Studio 2012): Use a desktop version such as [http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-express-windows-desktop Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop] and remember [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38188 Visual Studio 2012 Update 2]). Do not use Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8. You must install [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms717422.aspx Windows SDK], otherwise CMake will not even find the C compiler during configure. In CMake, choose <tt>Visual Studio 11 Win64</tt> as generator.

** '''Un-tested''': Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
