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
