This page provides the information and instructions needed to prepare classroom computers for the MIPAV class at CIT. The following steps should be performed:

  • Check with contact the instructor for the version of MIPAV to install;
  • Check with the instructor if there is any sample data that will be used in the class;
  • Install MIPAV on the computers in B52;
  • Open an example image and run the Java3D and GPU renderers to make sure that the visualization works with the current drivers.

Which version of MIPAV to install?

Two versions of MIPAV are available for download from MIPAV web site - a release version or a nightly test-build.

The release version is tested to ensure that it installs and runs. New release versions available when a significant number of changes have been accumulated in MIPAV.

A nightly built, is a test version, released nightly. It incorporates changes made to MIPAV during the course of the day.

Depending on the class content, either one or the other can be downloaded and used for the MIPAV class.

In order to know which version of MIPAV to install, please, contact Evan McCreedy Computer Scientist BIRSS/ISL/DCB/CIT/NIH (phone 301-496-3323).
