1 PACKAGE CONTENTS
------------------

NiftyRec is a software toolbox for Tomographic image reconstruction.
NiftyRec is written in C and computationally intensive functions have a
GPU accelerated version based on NVidia CUDA.
NiftyRec includes a Matlab Toolbox and a Python Package that access
the low level routines, hiding the complexity of the GPU accelerated
algorithms.

4 BUILD AND INSTALL FROM SOURCE

See the Wiki on the website of
NiftyRec for detailed instructions
-----------------------------------

NiftyRec is based on the CMake cross-platform build system.
As a design choice NiftyRec does not have any external dependencies when
compiled with the basic options. Optional dependencies are the CUDA runtime
libraries, Matlab (mex and mx) and the Python interpreter.
CMake simplifies the build process across the supported platforms.
Further details are in the Programming Manual of NiftyRec.

--Linux and MAC

Install ccmake or cmake-gui. Download and uncompress source. cd to the
project main directory, create here a folder 'build', cd to that folder
and run cmake:

..$ mkdir build
..$ cd build
..$ ccmake .. (or cmake-gui ..)

Select options, set the BUILD_TYPE to Release or to Debug and set all the required
paths for additional dependencies if you selected any of the options.
Configure and Generate. Now quit ccmake/cmake-gui and build

..$ make build

In order to create an installation package with CPack run make with option 'package'

..$ make package

In order to install NiftyRec in the system run make with option 'install'

..$ sudo make install

or install the package created with 'make package'.

--Windows

Install cmake. Download and uncompress source. Open the source directory
with Windows Explorer and create here a new folder 'build'. Launch CMake
and open CMakeLists.txt from the main directory of NiftyRec.
Select options, set the BUILD_TYPE to Release or to Debug and set all the required
paths for additional dependencies if you selected any of the options.
Configure and Generate. Browse the 'build' directory and double click
on the Visual Studio project file. Click Compile button in Visual Studio.
Create self-extracting installer by compiling the corresponding target in Visual
Studio.

5 USE

See the Wiki on the website of
NiftyRec for detailed instructions
-----------------------------------

--Matlab Toolbox
Launch Matlab. Add path to NiftyRec Toolbox, e.g.:

>> addpath '/usr/local/niftyrec/matlab'

Or add permanently by clicking on File->Add path.
The path NiftyRec Toolbox is set as an option in CMake.
It defaults to '/usr/local/niftyrec/matlab' in Linux and MAC OS, in Windows C:/ProgramFiles/NiftyRec
Open Matlab help and click on NiftyRec Toolbox
to visualize the documentation of NiftyRec Toolbox. Execute and edit et_osem_demo.m to get started.

--Python Extension

The NiftyRec Python module is installed amongst the site-packages
by the binary installers and by 'make install'.
Open the Python interpreter and import NiftyRec

>>> from NiftyRec import NiftyRec

--C API

Libraries and headers are installed by the binary installer and by 'make install'.
Their location is an option in CMake at build time. It defaults to '/usr/local/lib'
and '/usr/local/include' under Linux and Mac OS and to 'C:/ProgramFiles/NiftyRec/lib'
and 'C:/ProgramFiles/NiftyRec/include' under Windows.
