There are two ways to install. It's simplest to use a pre-built package. See #Table 1 to check if a package is available for your system. If there isn't one, you'll need to install by building the source code. The source code builds and has been tested on Ubuntu 10.10, Fedora 10, Windows XP, and OS X 10.5 and 10.6 on both 32 and 64-bit machines. Anchor
CPU | OSX 10.5 | OSX 10.6 | WinXP | Win7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
i386 | yes, but no FFMPEG | no | yes | yes |
x86_64 | yes? | yes | 32bit | 32bit |
If a pre-built installer is available for your system, it will be found here.
Quick-start
Install the command line tools.
1. Download the pre-built package for your system.
2. Unzip it. If using an installer, run it and follow directions. If installing from a compressed archive, open the archive and copy files to the desired directory. If given the option, it is recommended you do an Everything install.
3. (optional) Add the {WhiskerTracking}/bin directory to your environment's PATH. Doing so will allow you to call the command line utilities from any directory. The installer might do this for you.
4. (optional) Add the {WhiskerTracking}/ui directory to your environment's PATH. Doing so will allow you to call ui2.py, the graphical interface, from any directory.
(Optional) Install the Python environment.
