Installation on Windows is pretty straightforward, just launch *sIBL_GUI.exe*.
In order to support third party images formats through FreeImage you may need to install
`Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) <http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/8/0/A80747C3-41BD-45DF-B505-E9710D2744E0/vcredist_x64.exe>`_.

_`Linux Platform`
-----------------

| *sIBL_GUI 4* is currently not built on Linux because of several issues.

The following dependencies are needed:

-  **Python 2.6.7** or **Python 2.7.3**: http://www.python.org/
-  **PyQt**: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/

To install **sIBL_GUI** from the `Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sIBL_GUI>`_ you can issue this command in a shell::

      pip install sIBL_GUI

or this alternative command::

      easy install sIBL_GUI

Templates are not included by default and can be downloaded from `sIBL_GUI_Templates <https://github.com/KelSolaar/sIBL_GUI_Templates>`_ repository.

If you want to support third party images formats through FreeImage, you will need to recompile `FreeImage <https://github.com/KelSolaar/FreeImage>`_ with the following patch over it:

- **FreeImage_For_sIBL_GUI**: https://github.com/KelSolaar/FreeImage_For_sIBL_GUI

You can also directly install from `Github <http://github.com/KelSolaar/sIBL_GUI>`_ source repository::

      git clone git://github.com/KelSolaar/sIBL_GUI.git
      cd sIBL_GUI
      python setup.py install

If you want to build the documentation you will also need:
