Slicer Extensions
Extensions for Downloading
Introduction
- Slicer Extensions are a mechanism for third parties to provide modules which extend the functionality of 3d Slicer.
- Some of the extensions do not use the Slicer license. Please review carefully.
- For a subset of extensions, you can use the extension wizard in Slicer to find their webpages and to install/uninstall individual extensions. In case of problems with those modules, please talk directly to the developers of the extensions.
- The version that is available through the extension manager is chosen by the developer of that extension
We are using NITRC as the primary repository for contributed extensions. As a general rule, we do not test the extensions ourselves. Use them at your own risk. Click here to see a listing of Slicer 3 extensions on NITRC.
To add extension modules to an installed binary of slicer:
- Use the View->Extension Manager menu option
- The dialog will be initialized with the URL to the extensions that have been compiled to match your binary of slicer.
- Note installing extensions from a different repository URL is likely to be unstable due to platform and software version differences.
- You can select a local install directory for your downloaded extensions (be sure to choose a directory with enough free space).
- Select the extensions you wish to install and click to download them. Installed extensions will be available when you restart slicer.
- To turn modules on or off, you can use the Module Settings page of the View->Application Settings dialog.
- Extensions are compiled as part of the nightly build. In order to have your extension compiled nightly and made available to end users, please contact the Slicer team. For explanations for developers see here
Installation
- Click on the cogwheel icon to start the extensions wizard (highlighted in red)
