## Requirements

 * A minimum of 2GB free RAM for processing of 30MP scans

 * bash

 * [GraphicsMagic](http://www.graphicsmagick.org/)

 * [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org) (as GraphicsMagic cannot create histograms)

 * [openseadragon.min.js](http://openseadragon.github.io/)

 * A suitable beefy browser equipped machine for display, depending on image sizes and ALTO complexity

 * [deepzoom](http://search.cpan.org/~drrho/Graphics-DZI-0.05/script/deepzoom) (only if tile based display is enabled. Install with 'sudo cpan -f install Graphics::DZI')

  * Perl (required by deepzoom)
