Installation instructions, Windows
Windows packages are distributed as installers. Just run the installer and follow coming instructions to install BioImageXD to your system. You might need system administrator rights depending on your system settings.
Installation instructions, Linux
Linux package is not yet distributed as installer and it has prerequisite of Python 2.6/2.7 and wxPython 2.8.x installed in the system. To install BioImageXD on Linux, download the Linux package and extract it to the directory where you want to install BioImageXD. Then follow instructions on readme_linux.txt to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. After setting that environment variable, you are ready to run BioImageXD using command python BioImageXD.py.
Installation instructions, Mac OSX
Mac OSX package is not yet distributed as disk image, we are working on it. Also the Mac OSX package currently uses different version of wx GUI library than Windows or Linux packages, so there can be some GUI related bugs in OSX version. To install and use BioImageXD in Mac OSX, you need to have at least a basic knowledge of shell (terminal.app). Mac OSX 10.6/10.7 package requires Python 2.7 installed in the system, everything else is included in the package. After you have downloaded the BioImageXD package and extracted it (in terminal use command tar xzf BXD_package_name.tar.gz), read file readme_osx.txt for instructions to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you have extracted BioImageXD to /Users/username/BioImageXD then for instance you only need to set the following two lines to file /Users/username/.bash_profile:
BXD_PATH=/Users/username/BioImageXD
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:${BXD_PATH}/Libraries/:${BXD_PATH}/Libraries/python2.7/site-packages/vtkbxd/:${BXD_PATH}/Libraries/vtk-5.6/:${BXD_PATH}/Libraries/InsightToolkit/
After that BioImageXD can be launched in the BioImageXD directory using command python2.7 BioImageXD.py in every new terminal application.
