1. Download the '''Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR)''', version '''R2012b''', corresponding to your operating system. This is a set of libraries that will let you run Brainstorm on your computer without Matlab.<<BR>>Click here: [[http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/index.html|Link to the Mathworks website]]. 1. __Important note for Mac users__:<<BR>>It is not clear on the Mathworks website, but the current MCR requires a version of MacOSX >= 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard), with Apple Java installed ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/release2012b/macintosh.html|see link]]).<<BR>>If you can't install the MCR on your Mac, you can chose between: updating MacOS, installing Matlab, or borrowing another laptop for the workshop. 1. Follow the instructions to 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 executable file located in ''brainstorm3/bin/R2012b/ '' * __Windows__: Double-click on ''brainstorm3.bat'' * __Linux__: From a terminal, ''cd brainstorm3/bin/R2012b/'' * Make sure that the file ''brainstorm3.command'' is executable:<<BR>>=> ''chmod a+x brainstorm3.command '' * run ''./brainstorm3.command'' * __MacOS__: Double-click on ''brainstorm3.command'' and wait for instructions. 1. 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 1. When asked for the location of the Brainstorm database folder, pick the folder ''brainstorm_db'' on your Desktop. |
1. Those instructions are valid for the following operating systems: * * '''Windows''': Any version ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/sv-r2014a/index.html?sec=windows|details]]) * '''Linux''': Ubuntu 12.04+, RedHat 6.x, Debian 6.x, SUSE 11.3+ ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/sv-r2014a/index.html?sec=linux|details]]) * '''MacOS''': MacOSX 10.7.4+ (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks) ([[http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/sv-r2014a/index.html?sec=mac|details]]) * If your system is not listed here, try with another version: [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/InstallationR2012b|2012b]] or [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/InstallationR2013b|2013b]] 1.

Important notes
Working with MEG/EEG recordings involves a lot of computational resources and large display windows. Therefore we recommand that you bring a laptop with a decent processing capacity and a screen larger than 14".
You would also add to your comfort by bringing an external mouse. 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.
Don't forget your power adapter...
Installation instructions
Before coming to the workshop, you need to download the software and the tutorial dataset from the Brainstorm website (>300Mb). To streamline troubleshooting during the session, please save all the downloaded files on your Desktop.
From the Brainstorm Download page, log in or create a Brainstorm account (registration is free)
Download the following files to your Desktop folder:
Brainstorm software: brainstorm_YYMMDD.zip (62 Mb)
Tutorial dataset: sample_workshop_fullday.zip (245 Mb)
If you already have Brainstorm, make sure that the version was released after May 8th.
- Unzip the two downloaded files on your deskstop
- Delete the zip files
Create a folder "brainstorm_db" on your Desktop folder
- Final check: you should have now 3 folders on your desktop:
brainstorm3: Program folder, with the Matlab source code and the compiled executable
brainstorm_db: Brainstorm database (empty)
sample_workshop_fullday: Example dataset used during the training session
- Run Brainstorm, to make sure it starts fine (read carefully the following section)
Running Brainstorm for the first time
With Matlab
- Start Matlab
Do NOT add brainstorm3 folder to your Matlab path: this will be done automatically
- Go to the brainstorm3 folder
- Type "brainstorm" in the command window
- When asked for the Brainstorm database folder, pick the "brainstorm_db" you have just created
Without Matlab
- Those instructions are valid for the following operating systems:
* Windows: Any version (details)
Download the MCR R2014a (8.3) 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/R2014a/
Windows: Double-click on brainstorm3.bat
MacOS: Double-click on brainstorm3.command and wait for instructions
- Linux: From a terminal, run:
cd brainstorm3/bin/R2014a/ ./brainstorm3.command
- 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 8.3 folder (ex: /Applications/MATLAB/MCR/v83)
Try with another binary release: Matlab 2012b, Matlab 2013b
- On Linux or MacOS, you will be prompted to select the folder where you installed the MCR.
- When asked for the Brainstorm database folder, pick the "brainstorm_db" you have just created.
Getting ready for the workshop
In order to make sure that Brainstorm works properly, and to get more familiar with the software, we recommend that you read and follow at least the first three online tutorials:
