| 28 | 22 for every UNIX-like distribution (including GNU/Linux):: |

| 24 $ mkdir Build | |

| 39 Usage | |
| 40 ----- | |
| 41 | |
| 42 .. highlight:: json | |
| 43 | |
| 44 You of course first have to :ref:`install Orthanc <compiling>`. Once | |
| 45 Orthanc is installed, you must change the :ref:`configuration file | |
| 46 <configuration>` to tell Orthanc where it can find the plugin: This is | |
| 47 done by properly modifying the ``Plugins`` option. You could for | |
| 48 instance use the following configuration file:: | |
| 49 | |
| 50 { | |
| 51 "Name" : "MyOrthanc", | |
| 52 [...] | |
| 53 "Plugins" : [ | |
| 54 "/home/user/OrthancWebViewer/Build/libOrthancWebViewer.so" | |
| 55 ] | |
| 56 } | |
| 57 | |
| 58 .. highlight:: text | |
| 59 | |
| 60 Orthanc must of course be restarted after the modification of its | |
| 61 configuration file. The log will contain an output similar to:: | |
| 62 | |
| 63 # Orthanc ./Configuration.json | |

| 75 | |
| 76 Once a :ref:`DICOM series <model-world>` is opened using Orthanc | |
| 77 Explorer, a yellow button entitled ``Orthanc Web Viewer`` will show | |
| 78 up. It will open the Web viewer for that particular series. See also | |
| 79 the demonstration video on `official homepage of the plugin | |

| 83 Advanced options | |
| 84 ---------------- | |
| 85 | |
| 86 .. highlight:: json | |
| 87 | |
| 88 The configuration of the Web viewer can be fine-tuned by adding some options:: | |
| 89 | |
| 90 { | |
| 91 "Name" : "MyOrthanc", | |
| 92 [...] | |
| 93 "Plugins" : [ | |
| 94 "/home/user/OrthancWebViewer/Build/libOrthancWebViewer.so" | |
| 95 ], | |
| 96 "WebViewer" : { | |
| 97 "CachePath" : "WebViewerCache", | |
| 98 "CacheSize" : 10, | |
| 414 | 99 "Threads" : 4 |
| 28 | 100 } |
| 101 } | |
| 102 | |
| 103 * ``CachePath`` specifies the location of the cache of the Web | |
| 104 viewer. By default, the cache is located inside the storage | |
| 105 directory of Orthanc. | |
| 106 * ``CacheSize`` specifies the maximum size for the cached images, in | |
| 107 megabytes. By default, a cache of 100 MB is used. | |
| 108 * ``Threads`` specifies the number of threads that are used by the | |
| 109 plugin to decode the DICOM images. | |
| 414 | 110 |
| 111 | |
| 112 Old advanced options (up to 2.5) | |
| 113 -------------------------------- | |
| 114 | |
| 115 Up to release 2.5 of the Orthanc Web Viewer plugin, the plugin was | |
| 116 shipping a decoder of DICOM images using the GDCM library. In May | |
| 117 2020, the support of GDCM has been :ref:`moved as a separate plugin | |
| 437 | 118 <gdcm>`. As a consequence, releases <= 2.5 had two more advanced |
| 119 options, that were removed starting with version 2.6: | |
| 414 | 120 |
| 121 * ``EnableGdcm`` specified whether `GDCM | |

129 |
| 414 | 130 * As a complement to the ``EnableGdcm`` option, it was also possible |
| 131 to restrict the GDCM decoder to some specific `transfer syntaxes | |
| 132 <http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part05.html#chapter_10>`__ | |
| 133 using the ``RestrictTransferSyntaxes`` option. | |

| 138 For instance, the following configuration would enable GDCM to decode | |
| 139 JPEG 2000 images, while using DCMTK to decode the other transfer | |
