Editing Installing STIR with CMake (section)

== Unix-type systems ==
Linux systems use a package management system. Unfortunately, there are many different versions, and the packages
have slightly different names. Here is what we know:

=== debian/Ubuntu or others using APT ===
<pre>
apt-get install gcc g++ make  cmake-curses-gui libncurses-dev libx11-dev libboost-dev libpng-dev tcsh python
</pre>
(prefix with <tt>sudo</tt> for Ubuntu).
If you intend to build the python interface to STIR as well, you will need to add the <tt>python-dev</tt> package to the above list, and install some other useful packages. For instance
<pre>
apt-get install swig
apt-get install python-dev python-numpy ipython python-matplotlib mayavi2
</pre>
Note: on old Ubuntu/debian systems (e.g. Ubuntu 14.x) you need to install the <tt>swig3.0</tt> package, not <tt>swig</tt>.

If you will be compiling with MPI support, use
<pre>
apt-get install mpi-default-dev mpi-default-bin
</pre>
If you want to use ITK for extra IO capabilities (since STIR 3.0), use
<pre>
apt-get install libinsighttoolkit4-dev libtiff5-dev
</pre>

=== Fedora (and others?) using yum ===
The following might work when your system uses yum.
<pre>
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ make cmake cmake-gui ncurses-devel  libX11-devel boost boost-devel tcsh python
</pre>
If this fails, try to issue one "yum install" command for every package.

=== Arch using pacman ===
The following might work when your system uses pacman.
<pre>
$ su
# pacman -Sy gcc make cmake cmake-gui ncurses  libx11 boost boost-libs tcsh python
</pre>
If this fails, try to issue one "pacman -Ss" command for every package.

=== Mac OS X ===
You need the development environment. You would need for instance
* XCode https://developer.apple.com/xcode
It's probably a good idea to install [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts]. Then you should be able to use the following:
<pre>
sudo port install boost cmake
</pre>
Alternatively, you could install extra software manually. See [[Installing_STIR_with_CMake#Other_systems_or_manual_download]].

=== cygwin on Windows ===
Use cygwin's setup to install ''gcc, g++, make, cmake, libncurses-devel, libX11-devel, libboost-devel, tcsh, python''.
