Hello Developers and Users 3DSlicer

I want to run SlicerCIP (SlicerCIP4-10-2) in my computer with the following specifications:

> sn@MP:~$ uname --all  
> Linux MP 5.3.0-53-generic #47~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 7 13:10:50 UTC 2020 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux

> sn@MP:~$ python --version  
> Python 2.7.17

> sn@MP:~$ python3 --version  
> Python 3.6.9

When I run SlicerCIP4-10-2, I get the following error message:

Although I get error messages mentioned above, but Slicer is opened.  
Why do I get the error? Do these errors affect performance of “Chest Imaging Platform” module in 3DSlicer? What can I do to avoid/solve this error?

Please help me.  
Thanks a lot.

Hmm, looks like an issue with the packaging of the customized app. I tried it and most things seem to work anyway.

I’d suggest using the nightly, but unfortunately the extension is broken. I’ve submitted a pull request.

Dear Steve  
At now, I install Chest\_Imaging\_Platform extension in Slicer-4.8.1. I do not get any error message.

Thanks a lot.

@pieper’s fix went through and so CIP is available in most recent Slicer-4.11. Please use this version, as it would help us discover and fix any potential issues before the new release.
