Slicer3:Debian

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.

Compatible Versions

• Slicer 3.4 is available
  • Ubuntu 10.04 development versions.
  • Debian "squeeze" - the next major Debian release - will contain a slicer

package. 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/

Installing Test Versions

Installation of Debian "unstable"

1. Install Debian "testing" 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

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

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".

Install Slicer

  sudo apt-get install slicer

Thanks!

These packages were the result of a lot of work by Dominique Belhachemi.
