=== Obsolete instructions: ===
## The [[PsychtoolboxDownload regular installation method]] works too nowadays. Go there.##
You will need to install [[http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion]] and either Matlab or [[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ Octave version 3.2]]. For most modern Linux systems, this is pretty easy, but you must either have administrative access or you will have to ask an administrator to install the software for you. The Octave webpage also links to addon packages called Octave - Forge. These add additional useful toolboxes and improvements to Octave.

Installation of Psychtoolbox on Linux should work with the same procedure as on Mac OS X or Windows, so these instructions are mostly obsolete, just left here for your entertainment.

Installing Psychtoolbox on Linux is different from Mac OS X or Windows, as our downloader and instaler isn't yet adapted for Linux. You must have a running Linux system and the ability to install new software on it. Depending on your Linux distribution you may experience small glitches when trying to install the toolbox the first time. Search the Psychtoolbox forum for some description of work-arounds. Once successfully installed, you should enjoy a well working toolbox.
You will need to install [[http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion]] and either Matlab or [[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ Octave version 2.1.73]]. For most modern Linux systems, this is pretty easy, but you must either have administrative access or you will have to ask an administrator to install the software for you.

Installing Psychtoolbox on Linux requires less effort than on Mac OS X or Windows. You must have a running Linux system and the ability to install new software on it.
== Requirements ==
Subversion and Octave are available through the package management app of any modern Linux distribution. Matlab ist usually installed through a script from the root of the installation CDs.
== Get the Toolbox ==
To download Psychtoolbox you will use the Subversion tool ##svn## to do a check-out of the Psychtoolbox source repository. To do this, open up a terminal window and type the following commands:
%%(bash)
$ cd ~ # or some other destination, like your toolbox folder
$ svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/osxptb/beta/Psychtoolbox Psychtoolbox
Finally, you have to start Octave or Matlab, change the working directory to the new Psychtoolbox folder, and run the setup script ##SetupPsychtoolbox## from there.
%%(matlab)
>> cd ~/Psychtoolbox % use your checkout destination here
>> SetupPsychtoolbox

Deletions:
Installing Psychtoolbox on Linux requires substantially more expertise and effort than on Mac OS X or Windows. You must have a running Linux system and the ability to install new software on it.
You will then have to use Subversion to download the latest version of Psychtoolbox. To do this, open up a terminal window and type the following commands:
> cd ~
> svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/osxptb/beta/Psychtoolbox Psychtoolbox
Finally, you have to open Octave and add the Psychtoolbox directories to the path.

**DRAFT: The following instructions are quite minimal. Someone with experience installing Psychtoolbox-3 on Linux should complete them.**
