This guide gives detailed instructions for building SimpleITK on Linux. It is written for beginners getting started with SimpleITK.
Why Linux?
- Linux is freely available
- It has all the required tools
- Did I mention it is free?
Step 1: Get Linux
The first step is to install a Linux distribution. Some popular ones are:
There are many online tutorials explaining how to install your chosen Linux distribution:
- Ubuntu
- Mint
If you are a Windows user, you may consider running Linux on a virtual machine. Some popular virtual machine environments are:
Again, there are heaps of tutorials:
- Installing Ubuntu inside Windows using VirtualBox
- How to Install Ubuntu on VirtualBox
- Install Linux Mint 12 in VirutalBox
- How to Install Linux Mint in Virtualbox (youtube)
This guide uses Linux Mint 12, but the steps are very similar for other Linux distributions.
Step 2: Install build tools
The next step is to install the required build tools.
Open a terminal window (Menu > Terminal) and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install cmake gcc g++ git giggle python ipython monodevelop
Confirm that you want to install the install the packages, then wait for the tools to be installed.
Alternatively, you could choose to manually select each software package using the Software Manager (Menu > Software Manager).
Step 3: Get SimpleITK source code
The next step is to get the SimpleITK source code using git.
Decide where you want to put the source code. I'm putting mine in home/ITK:
cd ~ mkdir ITK cd ITK
Now download the SimpleITK source code, by entering the following command in the Terminal:
git clone --recursive http://itk.org/SimpleITK.git
Now go into the SimpleITK directory:
cd SimpleITK
Have a look at the directory structure:
ls -l
Step 4: Build SimpleITK
The next step is to start building.
The recommended way to build using the so-called "Super Build":
mkdir Build cd Build cmake ../SuperBuild
make
