Installation (Windows)

Apart from MATLAB the following software has to be installed

• SPM8
• VBM8 (preview)
• Python
• gnuplot
• libsvm
• other scripts

SPM8

Download the software from www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/ and unpack the folder inside your MATLAB/200*/toolbox. Add the folder SPM8 to the MATLAB path.

VBM8

Unpack the files into the SPM8 folder. Important: VBM8 depends on SPM8! download

gnuplot

Download gnuplot from sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/. Unzip the file gp426win32.zip in a folder of your choice. More information you can find on the page www.gnuplot.info. The path must not contain spaces! This would lead to problems when executing libsvm scripts.

Python

Download and install the Python 2.6.4 Windows installer from www.python.org/download/.

libsvm

Download libsvm from www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ (see section download LIBSVM). Unzip the folder into a appropriate place.

Open the file tools\easy.py and change the variables gnuplot_exe (line 26) so that it points to the corresponding file.

SPM Pipeline Toolbox

Download wiki.epfl.ch/svm-classifier-pipeline/documents/spm_pipeline.zip and unzip it in the subfolder MATLAB/../toolbox/spm8/spm_pipeline and add the folder to the MATLAB path.
