[Insight-users] Installation

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Lydia,

I'm assuming that you are running under Unix (or Linux).

You don't need to log as administrator to install itk.

What you may be experiencing is the installation of CMake.

When you run ./configure for CMake, by default it will select
to be installed in "/usr/local", in that case, when you 
run "make install" you have to be loged as root in order to
be able to write on this directory.

However, you can select to install CMake in other directory,
for that you only need to run ./configure with the option
"--prefix". Something like:

  cd src/CMake
  ./configure --prefix=/home/lydia/myPackages

if you run configure in that way, CMake will be installed in
/home/lydia/myPackages instead of /usr/local


you may see other ./configure options is you make:

  ./configure --help


If you can be root in your machine, it is better to install
CMake under /usr/local.  

If you use any other directory you only need to be sure that 
the directory in which you install CMake is on you binary
path so you can call cmake and CMakeSetup from anywhere.


Hope that helps


Luis
