Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup#

To use this toolbox:

  1. Install MATLAB. I only tested my code with MATLAB 2023a. MATLAB 2023b is not compatible. Required MATLAB packages:

    • Curve Fitting Toolbox

    • Parallel Computing Toolbox

    • Image Processing Toolbox

    • Database Toolbox

    • Data Acquisition Toolbox (optional, only for onsite experiments)

    • Instrument Control Toolbox (optional, only for onsite experiments)

  2. Install Python that is compatible with your MATLAB version. Make sure the Python path is in your environment variable. Check if you can invoke Python in command line.

  3. Install ARC.

  4. Install PostgreSQL. Set up passwords.

  5. Download this package. You can do git clone https://github.com/weldlabucsb/MuscleMuseum.

  6. In MATLAB, go to the main directory of this package.

  7. At first setup, run init. Fix the issues if you see any warnings.
