Hi,

I need small help for the Chest Imaging Platform (CIP) installation in Linus Ubuntu & python set up and looking for the installation steps.

Basically I would like to use the “GeneratePartialLungLabelMap” function in my main python code for whole lung segmentation.

Please provide me the steps for instalation

CIP git repository is provided at - [https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform](https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform).

I am not sure which version of CIP - need to install for my whole lung segmentation. As it has two options for download - 1) CIP Library, 2) Slicer CIP

Please advise me.

Shiva

Hi - @shahrokh [reported that using 4.8.1](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/error-message-when-running-slicercip/11897) worked. Older releases [are available on the midas server](http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/folder/274).

CIP had some build errors with recent Slicer but I believe the nightly will work soon.
