PREREQUISITES


Please check that the following tools are installed on your machine.






Consider reading platform specific requirements listed below.

Linux

Ubuntu / Debian

For Ubuntu 13.04 note that you must download or install the standard cmake from [1] 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
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-2.8.10.2-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

$ 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

Windows

  • CMake >= 2.8.9
  • Qt 4.7.4 or 4.8.4. See details here
  • 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.
  • SlikSvn
  • NSIS (optional): Needed if packaging Slicer - Click here to download.
  • IDE
    • Tested/Recommended: Microsoft Visual Studio 9 2008 (Any edition).
      • Make sure to install:
        • SP1. Click here to download SP1 and click here to understand the motivation.
    • Experimental: The plan is to support Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Any edition). Note NOTE THAT EXPERIMENTAL MEANS THIS DOESN'T YET WORK :)
      • Make sure to install:
        • SP1. Click here to download SP1 and click here to understand the motivation.
        • SP1 Compiler update. Click here to download and here to understand the motivation.
    • Un-tested: Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
