Installation & Update
Requirements
- Operating system: Any platform for which Matlab is available
Matlab version: R2006a (7.2)
Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox is optional, but strongly recommended.
Installation
Visit the Download section, create an account, and follow the indications.
- Download the latest brainstorm_....zip archive
Unzip it somewhere you usually put your program files. For example:
Windows: Program Files\brainstorm3
Linux: /usr/local/brainstorm3 (or $HOME/brainstorm3 if you are not admin)
MacOS: Applications/brainstorm3
Create an empty folder "brainstorm_db" to store your Brainstorm database. For example:
Windows: My documents\brainstorm_db
Linux: /home/username/brainstorm_db
MacOS: Documents/brainstorm_db
Start the application
With Matlab
- Start Matlab
Do NOT add brainstorm3 folder to your path
- Go to the brainstorm3 folder
- Type "brainstorm" in the command window
Without Matlab
Go to the Download section again
- Download the Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) for your operating system.
- Install it:
Windows: Double-click on the .exe and follow the instructions
Linux: From a terminal, unzip .zip, then run ./install
MacOS: Unzip, install
- Run the program in brainstorm3/bin/R2011b/
Windows: Double-click on brainstorm3.jar (no console) or brainstorm3.bat (console)
Linux: From a terminal, run ./brainstorm.command
MacOS: Double-click on brainstorm.command
- Select the folder in which you installed the MCR library (Linux and MacOS only)

Updates
Brainstorm is improving every day. It is recommended to update the software regularly.
- Automatic updates:
- When you start Brainstorm, it checks online if your version is older than a month.
To enable / disable those automatic updates, edit the software preferences (File > Set preferences...)
- Manual updates:
Menu Help > Update Brainstorm, in the main application window.
- If it doesn't work: check that you have the rights to write in the brainstorm3 folder.
- In case those simple methods do not work:
- Delete the old brainstorm3 folder
- Follow the installation instructions again (previous section)
Binaries: Installation steps
Visit the Download section, create an account, and follow the indications.
- Download the two binaries bst_bin...zip archive for your operating system.
- One file is the Matlab Component Runtime (MCR)
- The other file is the compiled application itself.
If your operating system is not listed: post a message on the Forum, we will do our best to make it available.
- Unzip the bst_bin..._MCR.zip file, and execute the MCRInstaller
- This will install the Matlab Runtime Component (MCR) on your computer.
Read more about the MCR: Matlab website
- Unzip the bst_bin...zip file somewhere you usually put your program files. For example:
Windows: C:\Program Files\brainstorm3
Linux: /home/username/brainstorm3
Create an empty folder "brainstorm_db" to store your Brainstorm database. For example:
Windows: C:\Program Files\brainstorm_db
Linux: /home/username/brainstorm_db
- Run brainstorm executable:
Windows: brainstorm3/bin/brainstorm.exe
Linux: brainstorm3/bin/run_brainstorm3.sh
