* '''Linux'''<nowiki>: linux-x86, linux-x86_64 </nowiki>
 
* '''Windows'''<nowiki>: win32 </nowiki>
 
 
 
See the [[Slicer:Slicer2.7_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/slicer2.7
 
** place a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin pointing to the executable for your platform in the distribution directory
 
** If you are running Ubuntu, see [[Slicer:Slicer2.7Ubuntu|Slicer2.7 on Ubuntu]] for more information.
 
* 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 Slicer2.7.
 
 
 
== Build Slicer (This is for developers) ==
 
 
 
If you want to build your own copy of Slicer 2.7 from the source code, follow the instructions here: [[Slicer:Slicer_2.7_Building|Slicer:Slicer_2.7_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/slicer2.6/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 X11 isn't installed by default on current Mac OS releases, so be sure to select it as an optional package from your installation DVD.
 
 
 
== Reporting Bugs ==
 
 
 
Please go to http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/ and report bugs for Slicer version 2.7.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 [mailto:slicer-devel@massmail.spl.harvard.edu Slicer Developer's Mailing List]. Questions about running Slicer can be sent to the [mailto:slicer-users@massmail.spl.harvard.edu Slicer User's Mailing List].
