ITK/Source
The source distribution for ITK can be obtained in two ways:
- Official release tarballs
- Snapshot from CVS
1. Official Releases
Download page
Linux Package Distributions
Mandrake
RPM
Debian
sudo apt-get install libinsighttoolkit3-dev
2. CVS Snapshots
Since many bug fixes and improvements are invariably applied to the source since an official release, it is often worthwhile getting a source snapshot from CVS. However, before doing so you should always consult the NightlyDashboard to see the latest nightly build status for all platforms. Find a build matching your platform, and ensure that it is all green. If not, some unit tests may have failed and you may need to go back a day or so to find a build that has passed green.
The very first time you access the ITK CVS repository, you must log in:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight login
When prompted for a password, simply press Enter (it is empty).
To check out ITK itself:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight co Insight
To check out the Insight documentation (warning: this is huge):
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight co InsightDocuments
Numerous sample applcations, some simple and some quite sophisticated, are available from InsightApplications:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight co InsightApplications
