| 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. | * MCR version: '''R2012b (8.0)''' |

| 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 update function does not work with the stand-alone versions. To upgrade Brainstorm, follow this procedure: |
| Line 64: | 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) |
Binary installation: R2012b
This stand-alone version is currently not distributed in the main package.
You can download it separately: bst_bin_R2012b_YYMMDD.zip
Requirements
Operating system:
Windows: Any version (details)
Linux: Ubuntu 11.10 & 12.04, RH 5.x and 6.x, Debian 6.x, SUSE 11.1+ (details)
MacOS: MacOSX 10.6.4+ (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion) (details)
Matlab Compiler Runtime: Download for free from the Mathworks website
MCR version: R2012b (8.0)
Installation
- Download the latest bst_bin_R2012b_....zip archive
- Unzip it somewhere on your computer, for example:
Windows: Program Files\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
- If nothing happens, open a terminal and follow the Linux instructions.
Linux: From a terminal, cd brainstorm3/bin/R2012b/
Make sure that the file "brainstorm3.command" is executable:
=> chmod a+x brainstorm3.commandRun: ./brainstorm3.command
If nothing happens, run: ./brainstorm3.command MCR_DIR
MCR_DIR is where the MCR 8.0 is installed (ex: /Applications/MATLAB/MCR/v80)
- If you can't get to run properly the compiled version, you can try with another binary release:
* Matlab 2013b: See instructions
Matlab 2014a: See instructions
- When you start Brainstorm for the first time on Linux or MacOS, you will be prompted to select the folder where you installed the MCR
- When asked for the location of the Brainstorm database folder, pick the folder "brainstorm_db" you have just created
Visit the Tutorials section to learn how to use most features of the software.
