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

Required tools and libraries



Linux

Ubuntu / Debian

  • Ubuntu, Debian squeeze, Debian testing (wheezy) users, just type the following line in a terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion git-core cmake cmake-curses-gui
sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
  • Debian squeeze has cmake 2.8.2 and Qt 4.6.3. You will need to install newer versions of these packages.

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

glx-utils provides glxgears that can be used to test rendering

Generic (need to confirm)

  • Logo CMake-PNG.png CMake >= 2.8.8
  • Git-logo.png Git >= 1.6.5
  • An easy way to get all of the packages needed to build Slicer is to install all of the packages needed to build paraview (another vtk-based program)
    • sudo apt-get install aptitude
    • sudo aptitude build-dep paraview
  • gcc
  • gcc-c++
  • libX11

Mac

  • Mac Os X >= 10.5 (Leopard)
  • Logo CMake-PNG.png CMake >= 2.8.8
  • Git-logo.png Git >= 1.6.5
  • XCode (for the SDK libs)
    • Newer Xcode versions (e.g. 4.3.2) use clang as the default compiler and clang is not compatible with ITK version 3. You should use ITK version 4 with recent versions of Xcode.
    • Xcode with gcc should work with either version of ITK.
    • OS X Mountain Lion: In Xcode 4.5 you now need to install command line tools (no longer included by default). Install within Xcode under the Xcode->Preferences->Downloads tab (otherwise git svn will give errors). Then you will need to install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) to get X11 (no longer a default in OS X).

Windows

  • Logo CMake-PNG.png CMake >= 2.8.8
  • Git-logo.png Git >= 1.6.5.
    • Git-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe recommended.
    • Use of TortoiseGit is optional.
    • 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.
  • SVN (e.g. SlikSvn or cygwin's svn client)
  • 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).
  • NSIS (optional): Needed if packaging Slicer - Click here to download.
