Download

Download the ITK+PythonWrapping INSTALLER from:

Run the executable
Read the license
- (seriously, it is not that long, and it is Open Source)
Accept the License
Select the directory where you want to install the software.
- It requires 350Mb of free disk space
- We will call this directory the INSTALLATION directory.
  - Write it down since you will need it for subsequent steps

You will define several environment variables. Depending on your version of windows this is done in slightly different ways.

In Windows XP you can do

In the Start menu, select "My Computer"
In the new window that opens, right click and select "Properties"
In the new window that opens, select the "Advanced" tab
In the Advanced tab, click on the "Environment Variables"
Select the PATH variable and add to it the INSTALLATION/bin directory (where you installed ITK). You will use a ";" to separate this directory from others that may already exist in the list.
- For example
  - I installed ITK in the directory D:\ProgramFiles\InsightToolkit-3.13
  - Then I added to the PATH variable the directory D:\ProgramFiles\InsightToolkit-3.13\bin
  - (note the /bin at the end)
Select the PYTHONPATH variable (or create it if it doesn't exist) and add to it the directory
- INSTALLATION\lib\InsightToolkit\WrapITK\Python
  - For example, in my installation, the PYTHONPATH variable contains:
    - D:\ProgramFiles\InsightToolkit-3.13\lib\InsightToolkit\WrapITK\Python
