Installing CIL

General
1

To install CIL you can follow our documentation:

Notice that:

  • we test and fully support linux and windows on conda environments and docker.
  • CIL has a non-strong dependency on x86 CPU architecture for the analytical recon classes (FBP and FDK), Binner and GradientOperator. While the latter 2 have a fallback on NumPy or Numba.
  • Tomography reconstruction depends on having access to ASTRA and/or TIGRE engines. These depend on NVIDIA GPU.

All this said, installing CIL on a mac is possible, but it will require you to build from source and (thanks to Apple) you will not have access to an NVIDIA GPU.
