This stand-alone version is currently not distributed in the main package.<<BR>>You can download it separately: [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/bst/download.php|bst_bin_R2013b_YYMMDD.zip]]

== Requirements ==
==== Operating system ====
 * '''Windows''': Any version ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2013b/index.html?sec=windows|details]])
 * '''Linux''': Ubuntu 12.04+, !RedHat 6.x, Debian 6.x, SUSE 11.3+  ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2013b/index.html?sec=linux|details]])
 * '''MacOS''': MacOSX 10.7.4+ (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks) ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2013b/index.html?sec=mac|details]])

==== Matlab Compiler Runtime ====
 * '''MCR version''': R2013b (8.2)
 * Download for free from the [[http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/|Mathworks website]]

== Installation ==
 1. Download the latest bst_bin_R2013b_....zip archive

 1. Unzip it somewhere on your computer, for example:<<BR>>
  * __Windows__: Program Files\brainstorm3
  * __Linux__: /usr/local/brainstorm3 (or ~/brainstorm3 if you are not admin)
  * __MacOS__: Applications/brainstorm3

 1. Create a new folder "'''brainstorm_db'''" for the Brainstorm database, for example:
  * __Windows__: My documents\brainstorm_db
  * __Linux__: /home/username/brainstorm_db
  * __MacOS__: Documents/brainstorm_db

== Start Brainstorm ==
 1. Download the '''MCR R2013b (8.2)''' for your operating system: [[http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/|Mathworks website]]

 1. 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".
 1. Run the program in brainstorm3/bin/R2013b/
  * __Windows__: Double-click on brainstorm3.bat
  * __MacOS__: Double-click on ''brainstorm3.command ''and wait for instructions
  * __Linux__: From a terminal, run:<<BR>>''cd brainstorm3/bin/R2013b/''<<BR>>''./brainstorm3.command ''

 1. 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 8.2 folder (ex: /Applications/MATLAB/MCR/v80)
  * If you can't get this run, you can with another binary release:
 Matlab 2012b: [[InstallationR2012b|See instructions]] Matlab 2014a: [[InstallationR2014a|?]]See instructions

 1. On Linux or MacOS, you will be prompted to select the folder where you installed the MCR.
 1. When asked for the Brainstorm database folder, pick the "brainstorm_db" you have just created.
 1. Follow all the 12+3 introduction tutorials: [[Tutorials]]
