If you are building the Micro-Manager Java GUI, Java 1.6 or 1.7 is recommended[http://imagej.1557.x6.nabble.com/Java-error-when-compiling-a-plugin-tp5004378p5004386.html]. The simplest way is to use OpenJDK:

It may be possible to also use the distro-friendly OpenJDK (<code>default-jdk</code>) without too much effort. To start, you would have to patch the Micro-Manager <code>configure.in</code> file to find <code>jni.h</code>[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498964#c2] and possibly apply other fixes.

Intallation notes to install micro-manager from source on Ubuntu systems. These instructions can also be used without modifications for installations on Debian systems (tested on Debian Wheezy and Debian Jessy).

Note
These instructions are for Micro-Manager 1.4 and needs updates for Micro-Manager 2.0 (which uses JDK 8 and has source code on github rather than in a subversion repository.
Note
This page has been updated for the build system changes of r13120, based on testing on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

See also: doc/how-to-build.md in the source tree.

Preparation

Install JDK

If you are building the Micro-Manager Java GUI, Java 1.6 or 1.7 is recommended[1]. The simplest way is to use OpenJDK:

Commandline

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

(You can also use openjdk-7-jdk.)

Install ImageJ

Download the Linux version of ImageJ from the NIH website. From a terminal, unzip to /usr/local/, and remove the embedded JRE, as we already have one installed.

Commandline

cd ~/Downloads/
sudo unzip ij*-linux*.zip -d /usr/local/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/ImageJ/jre
sudo chmod a+Xr /usr/local/ImageJ

Install Build Programs and Libraries

You will need a subversion client to checkout the source code, several libraries, and build tools. Install them with:

Commandline

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential autoconf automake libtool \
                     libboost-all-dev zlib1g-dev swig ant

You may also need to install additional packages (for cameras and special hardware). See the full list in #Dependencies

Fetch Source Repositories

Create a directory for the the subversion repositories, such as ~/mm. Besides the source tree, additional binary dependencies are stored in the 3rdpartypublic repository. The build scripts in the source tree assume 3rdpartypublic is in the same parent folder level:

Commandline
mkdir ~/mm
cd ~/mm
svn co https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/svn/micromanager2/trunk/ micro-manager1.4
svn co https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/svn/3rdpartypublic/

This creates 2 new folders in the mm directory: 

    ~/mm/micro-manager1.4
    ~/mm/3rdpartypublic

Subversion (svn) will likely complain saying that it cannot verify the https certificate. Typing **t** to temporarily trust the certificate allows to retrieve the repository.

Also, when retrieving large repository (like the 3rdpartypublic/ repository), svn can hung in the middle of the process, with an error message: 

svn: REPORT de '/svn/3rdpartypublic/!svn/vcc/default': 
Could not read chunk delimiter: Secure connection truncated (https://valelab4.ucsf.edu)

This can be solved by typing:

Commandline
svn cleanup 3rdpartypublic/
svn update 3rdpartypublic/ # This command might be executed several times

Building Micro-Manager

Create the Autotools files

Commandline

cd ~/mm/micro-manager1.4
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-imagej-plugin=/usr/local/ImageJ

Download build dependencies

Commandline

make fetchdeps   # Required since SVN r14001-r14016

Compile

Commandline

make

Install

Commandline

sudo make install

Post Install

Editing the startup script

A script named mmimagej will have been installed in /usr/local/ImageJ. You might want to edit its contents to pass extra flags to Java. You may also want to put this script in your PATH.

Running Micro-Manager

Start Micro-Manager by typing:

Commandline

/usr/local/ImageJ/mmimagej 2>&1 >/dev/null &

To view the Core logging in the terminal while Micro-Manager is running, start simply as:

Commandline

/usr/local/ImageJ/mmimagej
