Scalismo Lab and tutorial

Welcome to Scalismo Lab! In this environment simple Scalismo programming can be done, with no IDE required.

This document will guide you through the installation procedure.

Where to get the latest version of the tool:

Scalismo Lab is available as an executable Java jar (with a dataset), and is downloadable under: ####http://shapemodelling.cs.unibas.ch/tutorial.zip.

How to install and run Scalismo Lab:

Once the zip is downloaded and unzipped, all that is required to run the tool is a Java 8 Runtime Environment.

To run the tool on Windows and Mac:

1. Unzip the downloaded package.
2. Double-click on the scalismoLab.jar file.

On Linux and as an alternative on Windows and Mac, you can also run it in a console (terminal or windows command window):

cd path_to_unzipped_directory
java -jar scalismoLab.jar

That's it !

You should then have a setting with three windows similar to the screenshot below:

Note that in case you are handling large data files, you might want to increase the amount of memory pre-allocated for the tool, as follows:

java -Xmx3g -jar scalismoLab.jar

Also, we recommend to restart the program for each exercise to avoid crashes.

That's it. You are now all set. If you want to, you can now switch to Scalismo Lab and go through the Readme document that will give you more details on the usage of Scalismo Lab. This can be found in the Menu bar -> Documents -> Readme
