IRTK Installation

Dependencies

1. IRTK requires the following:
   • FLTK library.
     • Version 1.3 has been tested and is recommended.
   • VTK 5 or 6 library.
   • Boost library.
     • Not a version earlier than 1.48.
   • The GNU Scientific Library is also essential.
2. You will also need to have CMake installed, in order to generate the native build environment.

Requirements

The applications of the IRTK can be run on Linux distributions and Mac OS X. On Windows, Cygwin must be installed first.

Build and Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/BioMedIA/IRTK.git IRTK
   cd IRTK

2. Create a build directory and change to the build directory

   mkdir build
   cd build

3. Build IRTK.

   You can configure IRTK with BUILD_TEST option set to ON using CMake and build the software using the selected build tool (e.g., GNU Make) to build the tests.

   cmake ..
   make

Configuration

Add the directory containing the IRTK binaries to your PATH environment variable.

GNU Bash:

export PATH="$IRTK_DIR/bin:$PATH"

C shell:

setenv PATH "$IRTK_DIR/bin:$PATH"

where IRTK_DIR is the path to the IRTK build or installation directory.
