<br>
 
 
 
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
 
 
 
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
 
 
 
<!--
 
* Debian squeeze has cmake 2.8.2 and Qt 4.6.3.  You will need to install newer versions of these packages.
 
* Ubuntu 10.04 has cmake 2.8.0
 
-->
 
 
 
==== 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
 
 
 
<!--
 
Todo: This will have to be added in FAQ: Troubleshoot section
 
''glx-utils'' provides ''glxgears'' that can be used to test rendering
 
-->
 
 
 
=== 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
 
<!-- Waiting for the official release, get the release candidate rc1 [http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.11-rc1-Darwin64-universal.tar.gz here]. For explanation, see [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions#ld:_framework_not_found_QtWebKit|here]] and [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions#On_MacOSX_10.8.2C_CMake_hangs_forever|here]]. These versions are also known to work: exact version 20130121-g92bd8 [http://www.cmake.org/files/dev/cmake-2.8.10.20130121-g92bd8-Darwin-universal.tar.gz here] (or version >= 2.8.10.20130220 [http://www.cmake.org/files/dev/?C=M;O=D here]).
 
-->
 
 
$ 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]
 
<!--
 
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.9
 
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
 
-->
 
* 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).
 
<!--
 
** 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 ork 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 ===
 
* [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.9
 
<!--
 
* [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
 
-->
 
* Qt 4.7.4 or 4.8.4. See details [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions/Prerequisites/Qt#Windows|here]]
 
<!--
 
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]]  [{{tool|download|cmake}}  CMake] >= 2.8.9
 
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]]  [{{tool|download|git}}  Git] >= 1.6.5.
 
-->
 
* [https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?can=3 ''Git-X.X.X-preview2013XXXX.exe''] recommended.
 
<!--
 
** Use of [http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ 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.
 
* [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download SlikSvn] <!-- or [http://www.cygwin.com cygwin's svn client]-->
 
* 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.

<!-- JC: This links shouldn't be here: 1) Since this the developer section, it's assumed Visual Studio is installed. 2) The Dll are distributed within Slicer package -->
 
<!-- *** Optional: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package". Click [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523 here for x64] download, or [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523 here for x86] download.  [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29 x86 (32bit) for VS 2008] -->
 
** '''Un-tested''': Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
