CSIM is distributed under the
GNU General Public
License
and can be downloaded from
http://www.igi.tugraz.at/csim.
To install CSIM perform the following steps:
- Donwload CSIM from www.igi.tugraz.at/csim
- Unzip the file csim-VER.zip where VER stands
for the version you have downloaded.
This will create a subdirectory lsm and lsm/csim
- Start Matlab and change into the directory lsm
- Run the Matlab script install.m.
- Add the path lsm to the Matlab search path; e. g.
addpath('/home/jack/lsm')} or
addpath('C:\Work\Neuroscience\lsm').
- Change into the directory lsm/csim/demos and play
around with them.
- Have fun using CSIM !
If you do not use Windows or Linux as an operating system
install.m will try to compile CSIM by calling mex.
We do not know whether this works on other systems than Windows 98
with MS Visual C++ 6.0 and Linux with gcc 2.95.2. Since CSIM is
written in C++ the success of compiling CSIM also depends on the
compiler you are using. The
External
Interfaces/API
section of the Mathworks web site and the
Tech-Note
1601
contain valuable information about compiler requirements for
compiling C++ MEX files.
Note however that the compiled MEX-files (csim.mexglx and
csim.dll) which already come with CSIM should run on any
Linux or Windows operationg system respectively.
