'''Windows notes'''<nowiki>: </nowiki>

----

* This pipeline module is intended to be used with Cygwin on any Windows platform in conjunction with the Pipeline
* It is assumed that the user has installed cygwin on his/her Windows machine in "C:\cygwin\" directory
* Furthermore, the applications cmake, cvs should be already installed within cygwin as additional packages
* All commands, namely: cvs, cmake, mkdir etc: should be located under "C:\cygwin\bin\" directory

<br />'''Windows Usage'''<nowiki>: </nowiki>

----

* Download and install Java
* Download and install CMake
* Download the pipeline application (see link above)
* Download the pipeline module (see link above)
* Start cygwin by clicking on C:\cygwin\cgywin.bat
* On the cygwin prompt, change dir to the TARGET_DIR directory, e.g. "/usr/local/ITK/"
* Copy pipeline.jar into TARGET_DIR
* Run "java -jar pipeline.jar"
* Select File->Load Modules and load itkinstallpipeline.pm
* Click "OK" when the global variable tables (see below in "What to expect" for details on this) come up
* Select Execution->Validation to make sure everything is fine
* Select Execution->Run to run
* Read a book (both the cvs checkout and compilation takes a while :)

<br />'''Unix notes:'''

----

* this should be able to be used on unix platforms (including mac os x). however, only the bash shell has been verified
* this pipeline module assumes that the following commands are in your path- cvs, cmake, mkdir

'''Unix Usage:'''

----

* Download and install Java
* Download and install CMake
* Download the pipeline application (see link above)
* Download the pipeline module (see link above)
* Create a target directory (TARGET_DIR) where you would like to install ITK, e.g. "~/namic"
* Copy pipeline.jar into TARGET_DIR
* Run "java -jar pipeline.jar"
* Select File->Load Modules and load itkinstallpipeline.pm
* Click "OK" when the global variable tables (see below in "What to expect" for details on this) come up
* Select Execution->Validation to make sure everything is fine
* Select Execution->Run to run
* Read a book (both the cvs checkout and compilation takes a while :)

'''What to Expect'''<nowiki>: </nowiki>

----

* An "Insight" directory (lets call it ITK_INSTALL_DIR) is created inside the TARGET_DIR - example: /usr/local/ITK/Insight/
* Pipeline will download Insight source and make files into ITK_INSTALL_DIR
* Pipeline will then create a directory named "binary" (ITK_BINARY_DIR) in ITK_INSTALL_DIR - example: /usr/local/ITK/Insight/binary/
* The Insight toolkit is built and all binary files are stored in ITK_BINARY_DIR
* ITK_BINARY_DIR is a self-sufficient directory with all the executables and can be transported as an ITK executable package
