== Download Slicer (This is what users should download) ==

Download and unpack the appropriate [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/ Slicer archive]<nowiki>: this link gives you a precompiled ready-to-use Slicer 2.6 for the platforms stated below. </nowiki>

* Mac: darwin-ppc
* Windows: win32
* Solaris: solaris8
* Linux:linux-x-86

See the [[Slicer:Slicer2.6_Release_Notes|Release Notes]] for more information.

== Installation ==

You can run the toplevel slicer executable from any directory, but if you want to install it as a system-wide package we suggest the following methods:

* Unix/Linux:
** place the slicer2 distribution directory in /usr/local/lib/slicer2.6
** place a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin pointing to the executable for your platform in the distribution directory
* Windows:
** there is no windows installer, so you may put slicer in any convenient location. You may wish to put a shortcut to the slicer2-win32.exe on your desktop.
* Mac OS:
** No installation suggestions currently

== Follow the Tutorial ==

To learn more about using Slicer, refer to the [[Slicer:Workshops:User_Training_101|Slicer_User_Training_101]] page which contains tutorials and sample data for Slicer2.6.

== Build Slicer (This is for developers) ==

If you want to build your own copy of Slicer 2.6 from the source code, follow the instructions here: [[Slicer:Slicer_2.6_Building|Slicer:Slicer_2.6_Building]]

<br />

== Notes for Mac OS X Users ==

To run Slicer on the Mac, you need to have the X server and from an xterm run the slicer2-darwin-ppc executable at the top level of the unpacked archive.

If you want to customize the X11 Application menu to launch slicer, you can use a syntax like the following:

xterm -e /Users/pieper/slicer2.5/latest/slicer2/slicer2-darwin-ppc

Note that Slicer relies on the X11 system and must be launched from within an xterm. More information about X11 on the mac is here: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/runningx11.html

== Reporting Bugs ==

Please go to http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/ and report bugs for Slicer version 2.6.x. Information on [[Slicer:Bugs|How to enter bugs]] into the Slicer bug tracker.

== Where to go for Help ==

Compilation/development questions can be sent to the [http://lists.bwh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/slicer-devel Slicer Developer's Mailing List]. Questions about running Slicer can be sent to the [http://lists.bwh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/slicer-users Slicer User's Mailing List].
