Installation & Updates
Brainstorm is available under two distinct forms:
- a stand-alone executable application (Matlab not required)
- an open-source Matlab application (Matlab required)
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
Visit the Tutorials section to learn what to do next.
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)
Visit the Tutorials section to learn what to do next.
Updates
Brainstorm is improving every day. It is recommended that you update the software regularly.
- Automatic updates (Matlab only):
- 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 (Matlab only):
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.
- Stand-alone version (or in case those simple methods do not work)
- Delete the old brainstorm3 folder (don't worry, it's not going to remove your database)
- Follow the installation instructions again (previous section)
