MITK applications

Installation Requirements

Windows installers should be run as administrator.

The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be set to point to the Qt 5 lib directory in order to run MITK based applications:

 bash:~/$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/path/to/Qt/5.XX.Y/gcc_64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 

For Linux users before MITK 2016.11: The environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH has to be set to point to the Qt 5 plugins directory in order to run the application for MITK 2015.05 and MITK 2016.03. One of the typical paths is listed within the example commando

 bash:~/$ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins 

Another typical path is something like

 bash:~/$ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/plugins 

When not set, the attempt to run the application terminates with following error message: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

If you see error messages similar to this one: Caused by: ctkPluginException: The plugin "~/MITK-2015.5.2-linux64/bin/plugins/liborg_blueberry_ui_qt_help.so" could not be loaded: Cannot load library ~/MITK-2015.5.2-linux64/bin/plugins/liborg_blueberry_ui_qt_help.so: (libQt5Help.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) You will need to install missing Qt packages (in this case libqt5help5).

For Windows users: You need to install the appropriate Microsoft VC redistributable. MITK Version 2016.03 and newer include the redistributable installer within the installation package.

The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784 The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015 can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=48145

MITK Source Code

We recommend to use the source code archive from the latest MITK release (see table above) or to check out the corresponding git tag.

If you need bug fixes or features which are not yet included in a MITK release, you can also clone the Git repository at:

https://phabricator.mitk.org/source/mitk.git

Before updating to a current development version, you can check the status of the MITK continuous integration system.

For details about Git, see also Mitk & Git.

Getting Started

Build instructions are available in the MITK documentation. Build requirements are listed here. See the Documentation page for further links.

Plugin Generator

The MITK Plugin Generator is a command line tool which can generate CTK-style MITK plug-ins and optionally a whole CMake project to boostrap the process of setting up a MITK-based project.

For more information, please see the Documentation.

The latest version of the MITK Plugin Generator is included in the MITK code repository
