Latest build - VTKv9 step requires git-lfs

Development

It looks like the changes for VTKv9 require git-lfs to be installed (from HomeBrew on mac, at least).

I can update the build docs to note this if this is a permanent change? Let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Hollister,

I will look into removing this dependency. Or see if it can be optional.

Hi guys,

I am getting the following error while building Slicer on MacOS even though I installed git-lfs from brew.

Any thoughts?

Can you clone the VTK git repository manually?
