Download the Pipeline installation module here:

A short introduction on the Pipeline can be found at LONIPipelineSummary.

For more information on downloading and using Pipeline, click on: Pipeline Download Page

Windows notes:


  • This pipeline module is intended to be used with Cygwin on any Windows platform in conjunction with the Pipeline
  • It is assumed that the user has installed cygwin on his/her Windows machine in "C:\cygwin\" directory
  • Furthermore, the applications cmake, cvs should be already installed within cygwin as additional packages
  • All commands, namely: cvs, cmake, mkdir etc: should be located under "C:\cygwin\bin\" directory


Windows Usage:


  • Download and install Java
  • Download and install CMake
  • Download the pipeline application (see link above)
  • Download the pipeline module (see link above)
  • Start cygwin by clicking on C:\cygwin\cgywin.bat
  • On the cygwin prompt, change dir to the TARGET_DIR directory, e.g. "/usr/local/ITK/"
  • Copy pipeline.jar into TARGET_DIR
  • Run "java -jar pipeline.jar"
  • Select File->Load Modules and load itkinstallpipeline.pm
  • Click "OK" when the global variable tables (see below in "What to expect" for details on this) come up
  • Select Execution->Validation to make sure everything is fine
  • Select Execution->Run to run
  • Read a book (both the cvs checkout and compilation takes a while :)


Unix notes:


  • this should be able to be used on unix platforms (including mac os x). however, only the bash shell has been verified
  • this pipeline module assumes that the following commands are in your path- cvs, cmake, mkdir

Unix Usage:


  • Download and install Java
  • Download and install CMake
  • Download the pipeline application (see link above)
  • Download the pipeline module (see link above)
  • Create a target directory (TARGET_DIR) where you would like to install ITK, e.g. "~/namic"
  • Copy pipeline.jar into TARGET_DIR
  • Run "java -jar pipeline.jar"
  • Select File->Load Modules and load itkinstallpipeline.pm
  • Click "OK" when the global variable tables (see below in "What to expect" for details on this) come up
  • Select Execution->Validation to make sure everything is fine
  • Select Execution->Run to run
  • Read a book (both the cvs checkout and compilation takes a while :)


What to Expect:


  • An "Insight" directory (lets call it ITK_INSTALL_DIR) is created inside the TARGET_DIR - example: /usr/local/ITK/Insight/
  • Pipeline will download Insight source and make files into ITK_INSTALL_DIR
  • Pipeline will then create a directory named "binary" (ITK_BINARY_DIR) in ITK_INSTALL_DIR - example: /usr/local/ITK/Insight/binary/
  • The Insight toolkit is built and all binary files are stored in ITK_BINARY_DIR
  • ITK_BINARY_DIR is a self-sufficient directory with all the executables and can be transported as an ITK executable package
