Consider reading platform specific requirements listed below.
 
 
 
=== Linux ===
 
* [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 3.x
 
* [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.7.10
 
* [{{tool|download|svn}} Svn] >= 1.7
 
* Qt 4.8.6. <small>See details [http://na-mic.org/Mantis/view.php?id=3325#bugnotes here] (Note that any version >= Qt 4.7.4 can be used only for Ubuntu < 12.04)</small>
 
 
 
==== Debian ====
 
 
 
* Debian squeeze/wheezy/testing(jessie) users, start by pasting the following lines 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
 
sudo apt-get install cmake
 
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
 
 
 
==== Ubuntu ====
 
 
 
* Ubuntu users, start by pasting the following lines 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 libglu1-mesa-dev libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev libncurses5-dev
 
 
 
 
 
'''For Ubuntu < 12.04''':
 
sudo apt-get install cmake # Only for Ubuntu < 12.04
 
 
 
'''For Ubuntu < 14.04.3''':
 
sudo apt-get install libosmesa6-dev
 
 
 
* NOTE: on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, attempting to install <tt>libosmesa6-dev</tt> results in an error:
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 
 libosmesa6-dev : Depends: libosmesa6 (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4) but it is not going to be installed
 
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
 
See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa-lts-utopic/+bug/1424059 Bug 1424059].
 
 
 
Slicer compiles successfully without that package, but <tt>VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA</tt> is disabled.
 
 
 
'''For Ubuntu 12.04 and above''': You *MUST download the standard CMake binary* from http://cmake.org/download because the distributed version of CMake cannot be used to build slicer. For example, on a 64-bit system, you will download the file <code>cmake-X.Y.Z-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz</code> associated with the latest stable version.

=== MacOSX ===
 
 
 
'''MacOSX 10.9.4 (Maverick):'''
 
 
 
''' (1) Make sure to install this update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1754'''
 
 
 
''' (2) Use CMake 3.0.1 - it is known to be working and is supported''' (if you want to use CMake already installed on your system, 2.8.12.2 is known to work on Mac OS X 10.9.5)
 
 
 
* 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]).

-->
 
* XCode (for the SDK libs)
 
* Qt 4 >= 4.8.5. We recommend you install the following two packages:
 
** Download and install [http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-opensource-mac-4.8.6-1.dmg qt-opensource-mac-4.8.6-1.dmg]
 
** Download and install [http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-opensource-mac-4.8.6-1-debug-libs.dmg qt-opensource-mac-4.8.6-1-debug-libs.dmg]
 
** For more 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] >= 3.0
 
* [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.7.10
 
<!--
 
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]]  [{{tool|download|cmake}}  CMake] >= 2.8.10
 
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]]  [{{tool|download|git}}  Git] >= 1.7.10
 
* [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]-->. If using TortoiseSVN (versions that support command line tools), make sure you install Command line tools (disabled by default)
 
 
 
* NSIS (optional): Needed if packaging Slicer - Click [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download here] to download.
 
 
 
* Qt 4.8.6 (for VS2008). See details [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Build_Instructions/Prerequisites/Qt#Windows|here]]
 
** Normally you should plan to build Qt from source to have complete control over the process. See [https://github.com/jcfr/qt-easy-build one-liner build command] <!-- or more detailed [[#Build_instructions]] -->
 
** You may find that the '''unsigned''' binary downloads from this site are usable: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qt64ng/files/qt/x86-64/4.8.6/msvc2008/ (If you use .7z varaints extract them in the default location C:\Qt\ otherwise that installation will not be properly configured for use with CMake)
 
** '''Details''': Using the Qt Designer on Windows requires that the Slicer plugins are compiled in the same mode as Qt. If Qt was compiled in Release mode (default), Slicer would have to be compiled in Release mode as well. However if Qt is compiled in Debug mode only, Slicer has to be compiled in Debug too. When Qt is in "Release and Debug" mode only the Release version of Designer.exe is generated, Slicer would have to be compiled in Release. So for developers, the <b>Debug mode is recommended</b>.
 
** For VS2012 Qt needs to be build from source. Build will fail, which can be fixed with this diff: https://gist.github.com/Vitallium/5220503 (read the comment too)
 
 
 
* IDE
 
** '''Tested/Recommended''': [https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions Microsoft Visual Studio 9 2008] (Any edition). [http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7729279 VS Express 2008 with SP1 direct link] (functional as of Jan 11, 2014)
 
*** Make sure to install:

*** Make sure to patch VS2008 using the script [https://gist.github.com/jcfr/3c7bef3f8b32f9f6ad4b fix-vc9-redist-manifests.ps1]
 
** '''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 build or install:

** '''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 <b>for Windows Desktop</b>] and remember [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38188 Visual Studio 2012 Update 2]). Do <b>not</b> use Visual Studio Express 2012 <em>for Windows 8</em>. 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.
 
** '''Experimental''' (Visual Studio 2013 with Update 5, as of [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/e5eb47826bacc172b7d1c3f2c2c32d0344fc04f9 commit e5eb478]): Slicer compilation is successful, with some caveats. Steps:
 
*** CMake >= 3.3.1
 
*** Build Qt 4.8.7 with SSL support using [https://github.com/jcfr/qt-easy-build/tree/4.8.7 qt-easy-build].
 
*** For Debug mode, disable <code>Slicer_USE_NUMPY</code> and <code>Slicer_USE_SimpleITK</code> in CMake.
 
*** For Release mode, disable <code>Slicer_USE_NUMPY</code> in CMake.
 
** '''Un-tested''': Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
