Slicer3:Debian
Contents
Intro
A Debian package for slicer and a slicer ubuntu packagehave been created to make it easier to install slicer on Debian and Ubuntu machines. This means users can simply do:
sudo apt-get install slicer
and the slicer3 command will be available in their path and system menus. All slicer executables and libraries will be installed along with dependencies.
Debian "stable"
Debian "squeeze" - the next major Debian release - will contain a slicer package.
- Please use Debian "squeeze" to test this package.
- You also could switch to Debian "unstable" to test the bleeding edge version of the slicer package.
Test Versions
There is a Live DVD for a temporary installation and a Installer CD for a permanent installation available.
Debian "squeeze" Live DVD Alpha 1
Debian "squeeze" Installer CD Alpha 1
Download the correct installer image for your architecture, burn to CD and boot from it to install:
- http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
- http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
- Images for other architectures can be found on: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Switching to Debian "unstable"
1. Boot or Install Debian "squeeze" like described above.
2. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
3. As root perform
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
4. Install and Start slicer
apt-get install slicer slicer3
Ubuntu
The Ubuntu distribution will also contain a slicer package in their universe repository. This package is probably based on the slicer package taken from Debian "unstable".
- Slicer 3.4 is available
- Ubuntu 10.04 development versions.
Install Slicer
sudo apt-get install slicer libslicer3-dev
Thanks!
These packages were the result of a lot of work by Dominique Belhachemi.
