Now you can go to root of BioImageXD source and launch BioImageXD by 'python BioImageXD.py'. Depending where you installed libraries, you might need to set PYTHONPATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

These instructions give details how we build all necessary libraries and setup BioImageXD in Linux. Same instructions have been used in Ubuntu and Fedora distros, and most likely work in other distros as well. In some cases there might be some libraries not installed that are needed to build VTK/ITK libraries. Those errors are reported by CMake. If you cannot find correct library to install, contact info@bioimagexd.net. In most cases, only packages mentioned in prerequisites are needed. Whole process takes full day (about 8h), but gladly computer will do most of the work.

Prerequisites:


Contents

Building VTK

  1. Download VTK 5.6.1 (or newer, might work, but no guarantees), http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.6/vtk-5.6.1.tar.gz
  2. Extract package
  3. Go to directory where you extracted VTK source and issue command 'ccmake .'
  4. Set following settings (click 't' to toggle advanced mode on, and 'c' to configure):
    BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: ON
    BUILD_TESTING: OFF
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release
    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: Change to some location where you have write access if you don't have admin rights
    VTK_USE_PARALLEL: ON
    VTK_WRAP_PYTHON: ON
  5. Click 'c' to configure and set
    VTK_USE_TK: OFF
  6. Click 'c' to configure and 'g' to generate and exit
  7. Issue command 'make', get a cup of coffee and wait about 30-60 minutes for VTK to get build
  8. Set ${VTK_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ to PYTHONPATH so you can install VTK correctly, if you are installing VTK outside path
  9. Issue command 'make install' to install built VTK to directory defined in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX


Building ITK

  1. Download ITK 3.20.1 (ITK 4.x.x will not work, we'll update this guide when we move to ITK 4), http://sourceforge.net/projects/itk/files/itk/3.20/InsightToolkit-3.20.1.tar.gz/download
  2. Extract package
  3. Go to directory where you extracted ITK source and issue command 'ccmake .'
  4. Set following settings (click 't' to toggle advanced mode on, and 'c' to configure):
    BUILD_EXAMPLES: OFF
    BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: ON
    BUILD_TESTING: OFF
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release
    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: Change to some location where you have write access if you don't have admin rights
    ITK_USE_OPTIMIZED_REGISTRATION: ON
    ITK_USE_REVIEW: ON
    ITK_USE_REVIEW_STATISTICS: ON
  5. Click 'c' to configure (don't care about attentions) and 'g' to generate and exit
  6. Issue command 'make', get another cup of coffee and wait about 10 minutes for ITK to get build
  7. Issue command 'make install' to install built ITK to directory defined in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX


Building CableSwig (needed for wrapITK)

  1. Download CableSwig-ITK 3.20.0, http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/itk/CableSwig-ITK-3.20.0.tar.gz
  2. Extract package
  3. Go to directory where you extracted CableSwig source and issue command 'ccmake .'
  4. Set following settings (click 't' to toggle advanced mode on, and 'c' to configure):
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release
    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: Change to some location where you have write access if you don't have admin rights
  5. Click 'c' to configure and 'g' to generate and exit
  6. Issue command 'make', get another cup of coffee and wait about 5 minutes for CableSwig to get build
  7. Issue command 'make install' to install built CableSwig to directory defined in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX


Building wrapITK (the long-lasting part)

  1. Create directory for wrapITK source
  2. Go to directory and fetch sources using command 'svn checkout http://wrapitk.googlecode.com/svn/branches/maint .'
  3. Issue command 'ccmake .'
  4. Set following settings (click 't' to toggle advanced mode on, and 'c' to configure, don't care about missing ITK_DIR error):
    BUILD_TESTING: OFF (you can leave it ON if you want, increases compilation time)
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release
    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: Change to some location where you have write access if you don't have admin rights
    ITK_DIR: Set to root directory of your ITK sources
    WRAP_double: ON

  5. Click 'c' to configure (don't care about possible errors) and set
    CableSwig_DIR: Set to root directory of your CableSwig sources
    WRAP_ITK_PYTHON: ON
    INSTALL_WRAP_ITK_COMPATIBILITY: OFF (if you don't have admin rights)
  6. Click 'c' to configure, nothing to set so click 'c' to configure again, and 'g' to generate and exit

  8. Go into directory ${BXD_SOURCE}/itkBXD
  9. Issue command 'ccmake .'
  10. Set following settings (click 't' to toggle advanced mode on, and 'c' to configure, don't care about possible errors):
    CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release
    CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: Same as selected for wrapITK
    ITK_DIR: Set to root directory of ITK sources
    WrapITK_DIR: Set to root directory of wrapITK sources
    LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH: Same as selected for wrapITK
  11. Click 'c' to configure, 'c' to configure and 'g' to generate and exit
  12. Issue command 'make'
  13. Issue command 'make install'


Final setup

Now you can go to root of BioImageXD source and launch BioImageXD by 'python BioImageXD.py'. Depending where you installed libraries, you might need to set PYTHONPATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You might even want to set path to your shared libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf.d if your built libs aren't in path already, and you have permission to write to /etc/ld.so.conf.d. If you don't have any additional rights and you have built BioImageXD outside any previously defined paths, you can set PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as (notice building of VTK, part 8):
PYTHONPATH=${VTK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/python2.6/site-packages/VTK-5.6.1-py2.6.egg/:${VTK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/python2.6/site-packages/:${WRAPITK_SOURCE}/Languages/Python/:${WRAPITK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/InsightToolkit/WrapITK/Python
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${VTK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/vtk-5.6/:${VTK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/:${ITK_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/InsightToolkit
