| − | * Many registration and segmentation algorithms fail on that platform because they run out of memory, when used with state of large data.
| |
| − | * Some of these failures are just that, some can crash slicer. Even though the "real" failure is caused by overextending the capabilities of the hardware (in a way the users fault), it appears to the user that Slicer does not work.
| |
| − | * If you search the archives of slicer-users there are several such complaints until we started to discourage people to use 32 bit.

| − | == How to manually install an extension ? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1) Get revision associated with your install or built Slicer. (Menu -> Help -> About)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Download extension matching your Slicer revision. Select operating system, bitness and enter revision on http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/slicerappstore
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Extract the archive (zip or tar.gz) in a folder. You should then have a folder like:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /path/to/<slicer_revision>-<os>-<bitness>-<extension_name>-<extension_scm><extension_revision>-YYYY-MM-DD
| |
| − | | |
| − | containing folder like:
| |
| − | | |
| − | lib/Slicer-X.Y/cli-modules
| |
| − | lib/Slicer-X.Y/qt-loadable-modules
| |
| − | lib/Slicer-X.Y/qt-scripted-modules
| |
| − | | |
| − | For more details: [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/DirectoryStructure]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4) In the Module settings (Menu -> Edit -> Settings), add the path ending with <code>lib/Slicer-X.Y/{cli|qt-scripted|qt-loadable}-modules</code>

| |
| − | | |
| − | 1) Start a terminal (or Git Bash on Windows)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Get the associated SSH remote url. [https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use#cloning-with-ssh Need help ?]
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Associate the remote URL with your local git source tree

| − | == Which remote name is expected for extension git checkout ? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When packaging an extension and generating the associated [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Extensions/DescriptionFile|description file]], the system will look for a remote named <code>origin</code>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In case you get the error reported below, you will have to either rename or add a remote. [http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Working-with-Remotes Need help ?]
