Description

These installers are self-contained, executable archives that automatically add all files of the MeVisLab Community PDF-Addon to an existing MeVisLab installation. This includes the source code as well as binary files.

The target groups for these installers are MeVisLab newcomers and pure users that want to use the PDF-Addon features out-of-the-box. Future updates will be made available via Zenodo as well.

This release contains installers for the follwing MeVisLab versions and operating systems:

  • MeVisLab 2.7(.x) / Windows Visual Studio 2013 X64
  • MeVisLab 2.7(.x) / Linux 64Bit (tested with Ubuntu 14.04.2)
  • MeVisLab 2.7(.x) / Mac OS X Intel 64Bit

Important note: Error messages reagarding an incorrect MeVisLab version or a missing MeVisLab installation can be ignored if MeVisLab 2.7 or a sub-version (2.7.1 etc.) is installed. The installers have been built with the latest MeVisLab version which might not be available to the public.

Installers for MeVisLab 2.8(.x) are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.155381

All those who are interested in being able to always use the latest version should connect their MeVisLab installation with the community sources which are hosted at GitHub [URL: https://github.com/MeVisLab/communitymodules/tree/master/Community; clone URL: https://github.com/MeVisLab/communitymodules.git]. This approach, however, requires compiling the source code and is intended only for experienced users or for users that are willing to become acquainted with MeVisLab.
