Hello, I downloaded CMTK-3.3.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz and wanted to install it in my Linux system. Also, I downloaded UserGuideCMTK.pdf. But I could't find relative information to instruct me in installation. Would you like to tell me how can I install CMTK in my computor and how to validate that I install it successfully? Hope to get your reply soon, thanks very much!

You can untar the file using the Linux terminal. I guess there is a way to expand using a gui tool as well. Then you need to make sure that the directory containing the binaries is in your path. This is pretty typical for many software binary distributions, so googling should give you some examples you could adapt. You may also want to try the rpm file depending which Linux distribution you are running. This will likely take care of putting the files in a standard location.

On a red hat based system (e.g. centos/scientific linux/suse) you should be able to double click the CMTK-3.3.1-Linux-x86_64-core.rpm in your desktop – then it should fire up the package manager and offer to install.

You can install cmtk on debian based linux systems (e.g. Ubuntu) using a package manager by making use of the neurodebian distribution. Instructions here:

Best,

Greg.

Just to add some detail to Greg's response -

The RPM will install CMTK under /usr/local. Specifically, the "cmtk" and "munger" wrapper scripts will be found in /usr/local/bin; if you add that to your path (if it's not there already), then you will be able to call all CMTK command line tools and helper scripts via

cmtk TOOL ARGS

where "TOOL" is the name of the tool (e.g., "registrationx"), and "ARGS" would be any arguments to the tool, command line options, etc.

The tools and executable scripts themselves, however, would be in /usr/local/lib/cmtk/bin/ - so if you wanted to call tools directly, without the wrapper script, then you'd need that in your path as well (or give absolute path every time you run a command).

Hope this helps.

Would you happen to know why this is happening?

Hi Erin -

CMTK requires a few system and third-party packages to be installed in your system. What your seeing is the package installed telling you that it cannot satisfy these requirements.

Since the listed missing packages include the system C and C++ runtime libraries, this is very like the result of a version mismatch between the system on which the package was built (aka my home computer) and the system you're trying to install on.

I recall that I build the package on a Fedora 24 system, so hypothetically, on that version of that distribution, you should not be experiencing any problems. But that is hardly worth switching your OS for, so let's forget about that.

Sadly, since you have the system you have and I have the one I have, the simplest way to solve your problem would be to build CMTK from source code yourself.

It's not actually that hard, but you will need at least a C++ compiler (gcc recommended but clang should work) and CMake to be installed on your system.

Then follow these steps:

1. Download https://www.nitrc.org/frs/download.php/8... say into your home directory.
2. mkdir ~/cmtk
3. cd ~/cmtk
4. tar -xzvf ~/CMTK-3.3.1-Source.tar.gz
5. mkdir build
6. cd build
7. cmake -C ../core/config/gcc-x86_64-sse.cmake ../core/
8. make

After that you should find the CMTK binaries in the ~/cmtk/build/bin directory. If you want to properly install the package, you should be able to run the following to make an RPM package that is compatible with all the specific system library versions on your machine:

cpack -G RPM

Let me know if you run into problems.

Best,
  Torsten

Worked like a charm on Centos 7, thank you.

Building from source using Torsten's exact command sequence worked for me with one simple modification: I replaced "core" in both places with "cmtk-3.3.1" as this was the name of the decompressed source directory.

OS: Scientific Linux 7.4
cmake version: 2.8.12.2

I did this build and install in my home directory on a cluster, i.e. I don't have write permission for /usr/local/bin or similar OS directories. I added the absolute path to ~/cmtk/build/bin to my path:

cd ~/cmtk/build/bin
PATH=${PATH}:$( pwd )

and

cmtk --help
cmtk TOOL --help

seem to work fine. I've now added

PATH=${PATH}:/PATH/TO/CMTK/BINARIES

to my ~/.bashrc.

It is worth highlighting that if the repository  is downloaded as a tar.gz, as in step 1, then the folder named "cmtk 3.3.1" should be renamed to "core" prior to step 7. If the repository is obtained by svn/git cloning then this does not need to be done.
