==Preparation for the Workshop ==
<span style="background-color: yellow">Please complete the following items prior to the course. Support will be provided as requested. </span><br />

*'''Software Installation''': Please build Slicer3 on the computer you will be bringing to the  workshop.
The instructions for installing the pre-requisite development packages and for building Slicer3 are posted on the [[Slicer3:Build_Instructions |Slicer]] website.

''Please note'' To fully participate in the afternoon session you must have built the software on your machine.  Pre-built binaries of slicer3 are [http://www.slicer.org/pages/Downloads available]  and can be used for the morning session only.

*'''Dataset to Download''': Please install the tutorial datasets [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Image:SlicerSampleVisualization.tar.gz SlicerSampleVisualization.tar.gz] and [[Media:HelloWorld.zip|HelloWorld.zip]].

Note: The process of building Slicer3 takes 2 hours and requires 2 GB of RAM.
