## Pre-workshop instructions

If you use Windows or MacOS, then we suggest following the **Getting Fiji** instructions.

If you use Linux, then we suggest following the **Running sciview through Python** instructions.

### **Getting Fiji**

1. Follow the [Fiji installation instructions](/sciview/installation/installing-fiji.md), if it is not already installed.
2. Install the sciview update site using [these instructions](/sciview/installation/installing-the-development-sciview-plugin-for-fiji.md)

### **Running sciview through Python**  (linux only)

1. Install Miniconda, [instructions here](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html)
2. Download

   <https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjpuqty5w97pg9h/Fiji.app-hip-summer-school-2021.zip?dl=0>
3. Unzip the contents and go to that location in your terminal
4. In your terminal: `conda env create -f sciview-hip.yml`
5. In your terminal: `conda activate sciview-hip`
6. In your terminal: `python launch.py`

### **Getting the data**

* scripts used in the workshop can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/ida-mdc/sciview-hip-2021) - if you don't want to use git, you can just click the green **Code** button, and click **Download ZIP**
* data for the 3D segmentation demo can be downloaded

  [here](https://cremi.org/static/data/sample_A_20160501.hdf) from the

  [CREMI challenge](https://cremi.org). The security certificate on

  the CREMI site is currently expired. Here is a [temporary link](https://www.dropbox.com/s/nwrcz0cai4f7v4m/sample_A_20160501.hdf?dl=0) to the

  same file.

### **Developers**

* Please [sign up for a Github account](https://github.com/join) if you do not already have one. If you are proficient at git, then this is not necessary
* To follow along with the developer session, we strongly recommend [downloading IntelliJ](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/). It will be difficult to provide support for any other development environment during the tutorial session.

### Syllabus

* Introductions (Kyle, Deborah, Giuseppe, Justin, and everyone attending)
* Getting your sciview and development environment setup
* Overview of the sciview project
* Making your [first scene](/sciview/basics/first-scene.md)
* Working with [volumetric data](/sciview/basics/volumetric-data.md)
* Working with [meshes](/sciview/basics/mesh-processing.md)
* Creating [sciview scripts](/sciview/scripting/first-scripts.md)
* Making your [first sciview demo command](/sciview/development/first-demo-command.md)
* [Custom point clouds](/sciview/complex-data/point-clouds.md)
* [3D segmentation data](/sciview/complex-data/segmentations.md)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scenery.graphics/sciview/workshops/hip-2021.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
