1. Limitations

  • Only 8bit and 16bit volume data are supported at the moment.
  • DRR renderings are not exposed to Python yet.
  • Build process is currently limited to Linux-based systems.

2. Dependencies

Using the library requires the following dependencies:

  • numpy ≥ 1.16
  • EGL driver support
  • OpenGL 3.3
  • Python ≥ 3.7

The following dependencies must be satisfied for the build process:

In addition, the following dependencies are required to run the test suite:


3. Installation

The easiest way to install and use the library is to use one of the binary Conda packages:

conda install -c kostrykin carnapy

Conda packages are available for Python 3.7–3.9.


4. Build instructions

Assuming you are using a recent version of Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get -qq install libegl1-mesa-dev libboost-iostreams-dev

Create and activate a Conda environment to work in, then:

conda install -c conda-forge pybind11

Grab a recent version of Eigen, unpack it, and tell CMake where it is located:

wget https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/-/archive/3.2.10/eigen-3.2.10.tar.gz
tar -vzxf eigen-3.2.10.tar.gz -C /tmp/
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/tmp/eigen-3.2.10:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH"

If you have not already, download, build, and install Carna:

git clone [email protected]:kostrykin/Carna.git build_carna
cd build_carna
sh linux_build.sh

Now it is time to build, package, and install CarnaPy:

cd ..
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
