For Mac OsX, MacPorts, XQuartz and the Xcode command line tools (xcode-select --install) should be installed before compiling from source.

  • List of packages for Mac OsX using MacPorts: gcc^ python37 py37-tkinter py37-Pillow py37-pydicom py37-pip tcl tk py37-numpy gnuplot ghostscript gdb xterm

    where ^ in gcc is the gcc version. It can be gcc7, gcc8 or gcc9. For Catalina users, it is advised to install gcc9

Attention for Mac OsX Catalina users:
Since the default version of Catalina shell is zsh and not bash, please:

  • either adapt the function for enabling the environment for running Flair to a zsh equivalent one
  • or change the zsh shell to bash by typing:
    chsh -s /bin/bash
