Pipeline:InstallITK

Download the Pipeline installation module here:

• Windows/Cygwin: Media:Itkinstall_cygwin.pm
• Unix: Media:Itkinstall_unix.pm

A short introduction on the Pipeline can be found at LONIPipelineSummary.

For more information on downloading and using Pipeline, click on: Pipeline Download Page

Windows notes:

---

• 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

Windows Usage:

---

• 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 :)

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:

---

• 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
