Install Instructions

The only step needed is to make sure you have Read+Write permissions for your Slicer install directory. (If you already do, you can proceed to the First Login] section.)

1) Navigate to the directory where Slicer is installed (or the master-build directory if you are using the compiled version).

2) Right click on the Slicer install folder and go to "Properties."

3) Go to the "Security" Tab. Click on "Users" (or the equivalent group) under the "Groups or user names:" category. Then click the "edit button". A "Permissions" window will pop up. In the "Permissions" window, select "Users" again and make sure "Allow" is checked for all options. Hit "OK."

4) You should now see that Users have Read+Write access for the Slicer install folder.

5) You're all set. Just load up the XNATSlicer module and click the "Login" button, and the module will install the additional libraries for you. If you need a walkthrough, look here.
