Installing simple plug-in programs merely copies files into the user's home directory.
Windows
c:\Documents and Settings\<user ID>\mipav\plugins
UNIX
/user/<user ID>/mipav/plugins
You can choose one of two methods for copying the files:
Use MIPAV's plug-in installation tool, e.g. in the MIPAV window, select PlugIns > Install PlugIns.
Use the operating system's tool for copying the files. This method requires the user to restart MIPAV so that the new plug-in appears in the PlugIns menu. When MIPAV starts, it parses the user's home directory and builds the PlugIns menu.
Warning: The MIPAV installation tool does not work for more complex plug-ins that consist of more complicated package class hierarchy, such as the Medic Talairach plug-in program. To learn more about Medic Talairach plug-in program, refer to MIPAV Technical Guide 1.
