2. Unzip it somewhere on your computer, for example:

   • Windows: My documents\brainstorm3

   • Linux: /usr/local/brainstorm3 (or ~/brainstorm3 if you are not admin)

   • Linux: /home/username/brainstorm_db

   • MacOS: Documents/brainstorm_db

Start Brainstorm

1. Download the MCR R2012b (8.0) for your operating system: Mathworks website

2. Install the MCR:

   • Windows: Double-click on the .exe and follow the instructions

   • Linux: From a terminal, unzip .zip, then run ./install

   • MacOS: Click on the zip file to unzip it, then click on "InstallForMacOSX"

3. Run the program in brainstorm3/bin/R2012b/

   • Windows: Double-click on brainstorm3.bat

   • MacOS: Double-click on brainstorm3.command and wait for instructions

   • Linux: From a terminal, run:
     cd brainstorm3/bin/R2012b/
     ./brainstorm3.command

4. Problems with MacOS or Linux:

   • From a terminal, make sure that the file "brainstorm3.command" is executable:
     chmod a+x brainstorm3.command

   • If nothing happens, run:
     ./brainstorm3.command MCR_DIR
     MCR_DIR is the MCR 8.0 folder (ex: /Applications/MATLAB/MCR/v80)
