Clip is distributing in a source and binaries variants from the main ftp server and mirrors.
Binaries variant (except Cygwin) depends on a distributive and not available from ftp servers.
Source distributions present in two variants: splitted by packages and all-in-one variant.
You can download all that you need from the main ftp server ftp://ftp.itk.ru/pub/clip or from mirrors:
very fast, every night updated ftp://ftp.linux.ru.net/mirrors/clip
another good server ftp://ftp.lastik.ru/clip
or from sourceforge.net server http://sourceforge.net/projects/x-clip

The easiest way to install the whole Clip is getting all-in-one package clip-prg-<version>.tgz unpack it and compile.
To download and unpack:
Download file(s) from ITK's ftp server or it mirrors and save it in a safe place.
Untar it with the command #tar xzf clip-prg-<version>.tgz Now you have directory clip-prg-<version>.
#cd clip-prg-<version> Now you are in your new directory
You have two choices for the next step: you may install in local or system variant. What is that means?
in local installation the all Clip-related files will be in your own home directory, binaries will be linked into $HOME/bin, CLIPROOT defaults to ../cliproot, shared libraries would be with the full path in executable. This variant is easier and not need to act as root.
in system-wide installation by default binaries linked into /usr/local/bin, CLIPROOT points to /usr/local/clip, shared libraries without path in executable are linked into /usr/lib. This type of installation requires is action with superuser rights.
Clip local variant may be best for you (especially due to frequently patches and new versions) if you make a test or working on your system as a single person.
