Step-by-Step Guide for Installation on Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora)

The Python Version 2.6 is needed. The installation procedure including installation of required packages, downloading of sources, and compilation is automated by a sh-script. Take first a look at the respective scripts in order to understand what they do.

  • Download the installation script (Ubuntu 9.10 or higher / Fedora 11 or higher supported)

  • You need to make the installation file executable:

    chmod +x install_cviewer_ubuntu.sh
  • Start the installation and compilation

    sh ./install_cviewer_ubuntu.sh
  • Start the ConnectomeViewer in verbose mode:

    connectomeviewer.py -v
    
  • If there are errors during the script execution, generate a log file and send it together with the startup logfile via email to info[at]connectomics.org:

    sh ./install_cviewer_ubuntu.sh > logfile.txt
