~~The second command will take a long time (~10 min in some cases) and generate a lot of output. Please be patient (and make sure your computer is not going to go onto standby while installing). You may get the command line reappear before the installation is finished - so don't assume the command line reappearing means that installation has hung. The installer will tell you when it is finished.

=== Install Instructions on 64-bit Linux ===
(see also: UsingPsychtoolboxOnUbuntu)
General setup for PTB and Matlab on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit:
-------------------
* install low-latency kernel (some info found here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abogani/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency
* Install subversion:
sudo apt-get install subversion
* Install Matlab 64-bit (2010b was used for these instructions)
* Install PTB using instructions above
* Need to fix a few things in matlab for PTB to work
cd $MATLABROOT/sys/os/glnxa64/
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6.0.10 old_libstdc++.so.6.0.10
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 old_libstdc++.so.6
cd $MATLABROOT/bin/glnxa64/
sudo mv libdc1394.so.22 old_libdc1394.so.22
sudo mv libdc1394.so.22.1.0 old_libdc1394.so.22.1.0
sudo apt-get install libdc1394-22
* Finally, solve a Matlab issue specific to Ubuntu 11.04:
sudo ln -s /lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib64/libc.so.6
* Alternatively, you could use NeuroDebian install of octave-psychtoolbox-3 (http://neuro.debian.net), but you may still need some of the above steps
Refresh rate setup:
-------------------------
This is an example based on setting this up on my rig2display machine.
* Use gtf to generate a modeline:
gtf 1024 768 100
This is the output of that command on an example machine:
# 1024x768 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 81.40 kHz; pclk: 113.31 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_100.00" 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync
cvt is another program that works basically the same way
* Be sure the modeline is valid for the monitor. Look up the horizontal and vertical sync in the specs
* Use "xrandr -q" to see the modes available and what your graphics system is called (mine is CRT1)
* Copy that modeline to make 3 commands:
xrandr --newmode "1024x768_100.00" 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode CRT1 "1024x768_100.00"
xrandr --output CRT1 --mode "1024x768_100.00"
* Paste these into the file /etc/gmd/Init/Defaults just above the /sbin/initctl command. So mine looks like:
xrandr --newmode "1024x768_100.00" 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode CRT1 "1024x768_100.00"
xrandr --output CRT1 --mode "1024x768_100.00"
/sbin/initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm
* Could also do this by modifying xorg.conf but that looks like a headache, and this works
* lspci will tell you the name of the graphics card and other system info if you need it

=== Installation without Download ===
If you already have downloaded a copy of the Psychtoolbox folder onto a local computer and want to replicate that installation onto other computers you don't need to download the toolbox again. Instead, simply copy the Psychtoolbox folder to the other target machines. Next, startup Matlab or Octave on that machines, change Matlab's or Octave's working directory to the copied Psychtoolbox folder (//cd// command) and then type //""SetupPsychtoolbox""// (see Docs:SetupPsychtoolbox or type //help ""SetupPsychtoolbox""//). The //""SetupPsychtoolbox""// script will setup your copied local Psychtoolbox folder for use with Matlab or Octave, just as our installers would do. This procedure can safe some download time.

Edited on 2010-01-17 16:43:57 by MarioKleiner [More troubleshooting tips for Download.]Additions:
If you have an old version of Psychtoolbox installed, the installer will prompt you if it should automatically delete those version from your filesystem and do so if you agree. If you want to delete the folder manually, apply the following procedure.
These are simple instructions to get you up and running with the Psychophysics Toolbox on a computer. It is assumed that you already have Matlab or Octave 3.2.x installed on your computer. See the [[SystemRequirements System Requirements]].
If the installer complains about being not able to find the Subversion client "svn" because it is installed in an unusual location, you can try to locate the client yourself on your filesystem by use of your operating systems search functions and then add the path to the folder which contains the "svn" executable to your Matlab or Octave path. E.g., if the svn client is found under /opt/local/bin/svn, do a //addpath('/opt/local/bin')// in Matlab or Octave, save the path via //savepath// and then retry.

==== [[HomePage Psychtoolbox-3]] Download, Installation, and Update ====
First, you should make sure you don't already have Psychtoolbox-3. Type the following in the Matlab command window:
>> PsychtoolboxVersion
The first number in the output is the version number. If it is {{color c="red" text="3.0.8 or greater"}}, then you have Psychtoolbox-3.
If you have an older version of Psychtoolbox, remove it by following the instructions in the next section, **Removing Old Versions of Psychtoolbox**. If you don't have Psychtoolbox-3 at all, read the **Installation Instructions** below. If you do have it, skip down to the **Staying Up-to-Date** section below.
=== Removing Old Versions of Psychtoolbox ===
To find the Psychtoolbox installation directory, type the following in the Matlab command window:
>> PsychtoolboxRoot
Find that folder and drag it to the Trash or Recycling Bin. Then type ##pathtool## in the Matlab command window. This will bring up a dialog box with a list of folders that Matlab searches to find commands. Select all the folders that have "Psychtoolbox" in the name and click the "Remove" button.
=== Installation Instructions for Windows and Mac OS X===
These are simple instructions to get you up and running with the Psychophysics Toolbox on a Windows or Macintosh OS X computer ([[PsychtoolboxInstallationLinux instructions for GNU/Linux are on a separate page]]). It is assumed that you already have Matlab installed on your computer. See the [[SystemRequirements System Requirements]].
1. Download Subversion installer
~- **Windows:** [[http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/35379/svn-1.4.2-setup.exe svn-1.4.2-setup.exe]]
~- **Mac:** [[http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/Subversion-1.4.3.pkg.zip Subversion-1.4.3.pkg.zip]] (Older, but official, installer: [[http://metissian.com/downloads/macosx/subversion/subversion-client-1.3.1.dmg subversion-client-1.3.1.dmg]])
2. Install Subversion by double-clicking on the installer downloaded in Step 1. Run the installer and select all the default options.
~- **Mac:** You may have to double-click on the file once to decompress it or to mount the disk image (a ##.dmg## file), then again on the decompressed file to run the installer.
~- **Windows:** You should now quit and restart Matlab.
3. Download the [[http://psychtoolbox.org/download/DownloadPsychtoolbox.zip Psychtoolbox installer]] **to your desktop**.
4. Read the instructions relevant to your operating system below.
~**Mac**
~a. Decompress the installer:
~~i. If the downloaded file's name ends with ##.zip##, then double-click it to decompress it.
~~ii. If it ends with ##.m##, then continue to the next step.
~b. Open Matlab and type the following in the command window:
~~%%
>> cd ~/Desktop
>> DownloadPsychtoolbox('current')
~The second command will take a long time and generate a lot of output. Please be patient.
~If you want to know more, type ##""help DownloadPsychtoolbox""## in the Matlab command window.
~**Windows**
~a. Open the **My Computer** icon (it is either on the desktop or in the Start Menu).
~b. Double-click on the **C: drive** icon.
~c. Create a new folder called ##toolbox##.
~d. Move the Psychtoolbox installer (##""DownloadPsychtoolbox""##) from the Desktop to the new ##toolbox## folder.
~e. Decompress the installer:
~~i. If the downloaded file's name ends with ##.zip##, then double-click it to decompress it.
~~ii. If it ends with ##.m##, then continue to the next step.
~f. Open Matlab and type the following in the command window:
~~%%
>> cd C:/toolbox
>> DownloadPsychtoolbox('current', 'C:/toolbox')
~The second command will take a long time and generate a lot of output. Please be patient.
~If you want to know more, type ##""help DownloadPsychtoolbox""## in the Matlab command window.
You should now have a complete Psychtoolbox installation. Occasionally type the command ##""UpdatePsychtoolbox""## in the Matlab command window: this will ensure that you have the latest version of Psychtoolbox. To start learning about the Psychtoolbox, use the ##help## command. For example,
%%>> help Psychtoolbox%%
will list the categories of functions in the toolbox, and
%%>> help PsychDemos%%
will list all the demos available.
=== Staying Up-to-Date ===
Psychtoolbox-3 can be updated to the latest version by typing the following Matlab command:
>> UpdatePsychtoolbox
For more information, type the following:
>> help UpdatePsychtoolbox
=== More Information ===
=== Subversion ===
Installing Psychtoolbox-3 requires Subversion because the toolbox is now kept in a Subversion database, which is stored on a publicly accessible server. The database both stores the latest version of the code and tracks all of the changes that have been made to it. This simplifies maintenance and development of the toolbox. The Psychtoolbox functions ##""DownloadPsychtoolbox""## and ##""UpdatePsychtoolbox""## automate interactions with the database, so you never have to use Subversion directly. To learn more about Subversion, you can visit the website: http://subversion.tigris.org/.
=== Downgrading ===
If you find something broken after an update, then you might want to revert to an earlier version. The ##""UpdatePsychtoolbox""## script allows you to downgrade to an earlier version of Psychtoolbox. To downgrade to the previous version, type in the Matlab command window:
>> UpdatePsychtoolbox(PsychtoolboxRoot, 'PREV')
You can repeat this step to incrementally downgrade to earlier versions.
=== Access to Archived Versions of PTB-3 ===
First, you should make sure you don't already have Psychtoolbox-3. Type the following in the Matlab command window:

=== Access to Archived Versions of PTB-3 ===
Deletions:
The toolbox is now stored on a publically accessible SVN (Subversion) revision control server. This allows us to simplify maintainance of the toolbox and to make updates immediately available to the user community. The new installation procedures connect to the server and retrieve and install the toolbox for you. Thus, installing and updating are now pretty much automated. If you already have the //""UpdatePsychtoolbox.m""// script, just type:
help UpdatePsychtoolbox
and follow the instructions. Otherwise, first make sure you don't have any old obsolete version(s) by typing:
which DownloadPsychtoolbox -all
If you find it, then delete it, eg:
delete /Applications/Psychtoolbox/DownloadPsychtoolbox.m
%%
After getting rid of the old version(s), **[[http://psychtoolbox.org/download/DownloadPsychtoolbox.zip download the installer]]**, which is a file called //""DownloadPsychtoolbox.m""// . Add the folder containing the file to your Matlab path. To add a path, select the menu item "File:Set Path" and click the "Add Path" button. (Or change your working directory in Matlab to the folder containing the file.) Then type "help ""DownloadPsychtoolbox""" at the Matlab prompt, and follow the instructions.
help DownloadPsychtoolbox
You'll run either //""DownloadPsychtoolbox('current')""// or //""DownloadPsychtoolbox('stable')""// to specify which [[PsychtoolboxVersions flavor]] of the Psychtoolbox you want to use. We recommend the "current" (also called "beta") flavor for most users. The "stable" flavor represents an older, archived, snapshot, which might be useful in particular circumstances. Once you download the toolbox via //""DownloadPsychtoolbox""//, you can update your toolbox at any time by running //""UpdatePsychtoolbox""//, which is included in your new Psychtoolbox. Each update downloads only the files that have been modified since the last update or download, thereby saving download time.
**Downgrading in Case of Trouble**
The //""UpdatePsychtoolbox""// script also allows you to downgrade to an earlier version of Psychtoolbox. After an update, if you find something broken you might want to back out to an earlier version. To downgrade to a previous revision, type: //""UpdatePsychtoolbox(PsychtoolboxRoot, 'PREV')""//. You can repeat this step to incrementally downgrade to earlier versions.
**Access to Archived Versions of PTB-3**
**Microsoft Windows**
Under Microsoft Windows, when you first install the Subversion client, you will need to //reboot your Windows machine// before proceeding, otherwise our installer won't find the svn client.
Under Microsoft Windows, you must provide an absolute path to a folder where you want your copy of PTB-3 installed, e.g., //""DownloadPsychtoolbox('beta', 'C:\toolboxes\')""// to install the PTB into a subdirectory of ""C:\toolboxes\"". The specified path //must not contain// any white space.
**Mac OS X**
On Mac OS X, providing the path is optional. The installer will set a reasonable default path if you omit the specification.
