| Brainstorm is available in two distinct forms, both available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX: | ==== Operating system ==== * '''Windows''': Any version ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2012b/index.html|details]]) * '''Linux''': Ubuntu 11.10 & 12.04, RedHat 5.x and 6.x, Debian 6.x, SUSE 11.1+ ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2012b/linux.html|details]]) * '''MacOS''': 10.6.4+ (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion) ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2012b/macintosh.html|details]]) |

| * An open-source Matlab application (Matlab license required) * Necessary: Any Matlab version >= '''R2006b (7.3) ''' * No specific operating system requirements * Optional: Signal Processing Toolbox (for frequency filtering and resampling) * A stand-alone Java executable (Matlab license not required) * Requires the free download of the Matlab Compiler Runtime library ('''MCR''') * MCR version: '''R2012b (8.0)''' * __Windows__: Any version * __Linux__: Ubuntu 11.10 & 12.04, RH 5.x and 6.x, Debian 6.x, SUSE 11.1+ * __MacOS__: MacOSX 10.6.4+ (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion) * More details: [[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/index.html?sec=mac|Mathworks website]] Working with MEG/EEG recordings involves a lot of computational resources and large display windows. Therefore we recommand that you use a computer with a decent processing capacity and a screen larger than 13". You would also add to your comfort by using an external mouse instead of your laptop pad. Most of the manipulations are done with the mouse, and some involve an intensive use of the scrolling operation. A mouse wheel or the "two-finger move" on !MacBooks are perfect for this, but this operation is not always easy to perform on some laptops. |

| Brainstorm is quickly improving and evolving. We have chosen not to go through a stable-release policy but rather, we established a quick and easy way to update the software seamlessly for you. Although this approach has its shares of risks of possibly seeing new bugs emerging from the most recent update, it has the great advantage of being dynamic and of rapidly disseminating new, important features. We encourage our users to report bugs through our [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums|forum]], and our experience shows fixes are completed quickly enough to avoid disruptive downtime to our users. | The automatic updates do not work with the stand-alone versions, follow this procedure: |
| Line 68: | Line 52: |
| For these reasons, we recommend that you update Brainstorm regularly using the following options: * Automatic updates (Matlab version only): * When Brainstorm starts, it automatically checks online if a version newer than a month-old is available. * To disable the automatic updates, edit the software preferences accordingly (File > Set preferences...) * Restart Matlab after updating the software. * Manual updates (Matlab version 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. * Restart Matlab after updating the software. * Stand-alone version (or in case the above methods do not work for you) * Delete the brainstorm3 folder (it will not delete your database, which is in your user folder) * Dowload the latest release of the Brainstorm version * Follow the installation instructions (see above) |
* Delete the brainstorm3 folder (don't worry, it will not delete your database) * Download the latest release of the Brainstorm version * Follow the installation instructions (see above) |

Matlab Compiler Runtime
MCR version: R2012b (8.0)
Download for free from the Mathworks website
Installation
- Download the latest bst_bin_R2012b_....zip archive
- Unzip it somewhere on your computer, for example:
Windows: My documents\brainstorm3
Linux: /usr/local/brainstorm3 (or ~/brainstorm3 if you are not admin)
MacOS: Applications/brainstorm3
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
Download the MCR R2012b (8.0) for your operating system: Mathworks website
- 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"
- 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
- Troubleshooting for MacOS or Linux:
On recent versions of MacOS, you may get an error message "Application can't be opened because it is from an unindentified developer". This message would appear for all the programs that were not downloaded from the Apple appstore. To go around this verification: right-click on the application > Open, then click on the Open button.
From a terminal, make sure that the file "brainstorm3.command" is executable:
chmod a+x brainstorm3.commandIf nothing happens, run:
./brainstorm3.command MCR_DIR
MCR_DIR is the MCR 8.0 folder (ex: /Applications/MATLAB/MCR/v80)Try with another binary release: Matlab 2013b, Matlab 2014b, Matlab 2015b
- Troubleshooting for Windows:
Your current user may not have the necessary privileges. If are an adminstrator for your computer, you can do the following: right-click on brainstorm3.bat > Run as administrator.
If you are not the administrator of your computer and Matlab or the MCR are not installed in the standard paths, Brainstorm may have trouble finding them. To specify manually the path of the MCR or Matlab folder, right-click on brainstorm3.bat > Edit. Fill the second line of the script (Example: @SET MATLABROOT="C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2014b"), save the file, and try to execute it again.
- On Linux or MacOS, you may be asked to select the folder where you installed the MCR.
- When asked for the Brainstorm database folder, pick the "brainstorm_db" you have just created.
Follow all the introduction tutorials in the section "Get started": Tutorials
Updates
The automatic updates do not work with the stand-alone versions, follow this procedure:
- Delete the brainstorm3 folder (don't worry, it will not delete your database)
- Download the latest release of the Brainstorm version
- Follow the installation instructions (see above)
