For running various not-required packages and features (packages are listed last, in parentheses):
- ZSI 2.1 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywebsvcs (web services - get the trunk version!)

Instructions
Click here for Specific Instructions for Mac OS X
- Install Python
- On most Linux distributions it comes by default.
- On Windows: Get the msi release 2.6.x here
- Add the installation directory to the PATH variable
- Install Python Extensions
- Install ZSI if you plan to use web services package
- Install VTK (if you need VTK - for infovis support install the development version)
- First you'll need CMake: get the latest release here
- Then you can get vtk: follow the instructions to download the source code on this page
- (Skip this step if you don't need to run CORIE workflows) Follow these instructions to add CORIE and other needed files to VTK.
- To compile VTK follow the instructions in the file README.html in the root of VTK directory tree
- On configuring CMake, make sure that the variables VTK_WRAP_PYTHON, VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT, VTK_USE_DISPLAY are ON and VTK_USE_QVTK is OFF
- It is recommended to create a environment variable called PYTHONPATH
- PYTHONPATH=<path/to/vtk_build>/Wrapping/Python:<path/to/vtk_build>/bin:.
- For Linux only: Install Qt 4.4.0 or above (Qt 4.6.2 recommended)
- You can get the open source version for all platforms here
- Run configure then make
- For Linux only: Install SIP
- Downloads available here.
- Uncompress the file, and inside the directory, type python configure.py. On 64-bit Linux type python configure.py -d /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/. Then make and make install
- Install PyQt4
- Downloads of the latest stable release and latest snapshots are available here.
- Windows only: Download the binary package that contains everything you need to run PyQt4. This will install SIP and Qt for you.
- For Linux only: Uncompress the file, and inside the directory, type python configure.py. On 64-bit Linux type python configure.py -d /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/. Then make and make install
- Install MySQLdb (Python library allowing MySQL databases access)
- The file is available here
- Install SciPy
- Windows
- Linux
- Download and install BLAS [1] - Note: Most package managers allow easy download and installation through the native interface however; you must also get the source code and set the environment variable BLAS_SRC
- Download and install LAPACK [2] - Note: Most package managers allow easy download and installation through the native interface however; you must also get the source code and set the environment variable LAPACK_SRC
- Download and install numpy [3]
- Download and install scipy [4]
- Install matplotlib
