Introduction

Obtaining TINA
The TINA software consists of two collections of libraries: the tina-libs
(basic functionality) and the tina-tools (algorithmic functionality). In
order to use the libraries, you must build an interface programme called a
toolkit. The software is primarily intended for linux platforms: for
instructions on how to compile under windows, see the
WIKI page.

Download
The TINA software can be obtained, in the form of gzipped tarballs, from the
Get the tarballs here
link. These are updated whenever the code is changed. As TINA is research
software, it is in a continual state of flux and has no stable version as
such: if you find a bug, check for a newer version of the software, or send
us an e-mail.
In order to install the software using the tarballs, download both the tina-libs
and tina-tools tarballs from the link above. Place them in a convenient location,
such as /usr/local/Tina6, and then unzip and untar both of them. Then follow the
instructions in the INSTALL files in both directories: build tina-libs first.

Ancilliary Files
Some algorithms in TINA require additional files e.g. initial model files for
the segmentation tool. These files are stored under the tarballs link above.
|
Code viewing
The latest version of the base software (tina-libs and tina-tools) currently held in the
main repository can be viewed on-line using either lxr
or doxygen. Both databases are updated nightly.

Manuals
Online versions of the Tina 5 user guide, programmers guide, and programmers reference guide. The PDF versions avaiable for download are the same as those in the technical memos area on the documentation page. These manuals are still valid for Tina 6.

Running under Windows
|
Tina was written for use primarily on GNU/Linux systems, and also runs natively on Solaris and recent versions of
MacOS. However, a number of techniques exist through which it can be run under Windows. Further instructions
are provided on the WIKI page.

Anonymous CVS Access
Tina is currectly being updated from version 5 to version 6 and, during this process, the code has been removed
from CVS control. It is anticipated that CVS control will be reinstated in the near future.
If you would like to submit code to TINA, or have other questions regarding development see the
developer site.
