## Set up and test the OHIF Viewer (or LesionTracker) application:
1. [Install Meteor](https://www.meteor.com/install)
2. Open a new terminal tab in one of the Application directories (OHIFViewer or LesionTracker)
3. Instruct Meteor to install all dependent NPM Packages

  ````bash
  METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS="../Packages" meteor npm install
  ````

4. Run Meteor using one of the available configuration files.

  ````bash
  METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS="../Packages" meteor --settings ../config/orthancDICOMWeb.json
  ````

  **Note:** On Windows, you may need to set PACKAGE_DIRS="../Packages" in your Environment Variables in your operating system settings.

5. Launch the OHIF Viewer / Lesion Tracker Study List by visiting [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) in a web browser.

  **If everything is working correctly, you should see the Study List from your archive when you visit the Study List.**

6. Double-click on a Study in the Study List to launch it in the Viewer

  **If everything is working correctly, you should see your study load into the Viewer.**

#### Troubleshooting
* If you receive a *"No Studies Found"* message and do not see your studies, try changing the Study Date filters to a wider range.
* If you see any errors in your server console, check the Troubleshooting page for more in depth advice.
