Getting and Installing the software

Note: All the software on this site is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Important: The available Windows version was tested locally and was found to be working. But since our group works with the Linux version only, we are unable to provide support for the Windows version of our software.

Linux Version

The availaible source code can be recompiled with gcc 2.95 or gcc 3.4 and above compiler(s). We currently use gcc 4.0.2. Other versions of gcc were found to be not working. In order to set the compiler flags, please check the "Makefile" in the "~/YOUR_LSM_PATH/lsm/csim/src" directory.

Installation

Prerequisites

For the installation procedure described below to function properly you must first setup Matlab's mex utility properly. This can be achieved by issuing the command mex -setup at the Matlab prompt. For more information on compiling MEX-files see the MEX-files Guide

Step by step installation procedure

Donwload the desired package from above
Unzip the file (e.g. using WinZip under Windows and the command gunzip, tar under Linux/Unix). This will create a subdirectory lsm.
If your operating system is not Linux or Windows goto lsm/csim/src and edit the compiler options at the top of Makefile to meet your system configuration. See the section Compiling CSIM of the CSIM-Usermanual for more information.
Start Matlab and change into the directory lsm
Issue the command install. This will compile all necessary MEX-files (if binaries are not already there) included in the package.
Add the path lsm to the Matlab search path; e. g:
- addpath('/home/jack/lsm');
- addpath('C:\Work\Neuroscience\lsm');
Read the documentation.
Have a look at the demos.
Have fun using the software !
