Checking out the BBCI SVN

Linux

mkdir ~/svn
cd ~/svn
svn checkout --username UserName https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/bbci bbci
svn checkout --username UserName https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/bbci_tex bbci_tex
svn checkout --username UserName https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/texmf texmf
cd ~
ln -s svn/texmf .

If you plan to work with Stimulus Presentation or Feedbacks, you need also to install Pyff.

cd ~/svn
git pull git://github.com/venthur/pyff

or

cd ~/svn
svn checkout https://svn.github.com/venthur/pyff

Windows

--> right click in the target directory

--> choose "svn checkout" from the context menu

"URL of repository": https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/bbci

"Checkout Directory": (D:\)svn\bbci

--> enter your username and password in the next dialog

similarly with:

"URL of repository": https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/bbci_tex

"Checkout Directory": (D:\)svn\bbci_tex

and:

"URL of repository": https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/svn/ida/public/texmf

"Checkout Directory": (D:\)svn\texmf

Checking out the new BBCI GIT

Linux

mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git pull https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/git/bbci/public bbci_public
git pull https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/git/bbci/private bbci_private

If you plan to work with Stimulus Presentation or Feedbacks, you need also to install Pyff.

cd ~/git
git pull git://github.com/venthur/pyff pyff

Windows

using GIT bash: same commands as LINUX!

using GIT GUI:

--> "clone existing repository" ("Projektarchiv klonen") "Source lcoation": 'https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/git/bbci/public' "Target Directory": (D:\)git\bbci_public choose "full copy"

--> "clone existing repository" ("Projektarchiv klonen") "Source lcoation": https://repo.ml.tu-berlin.de/git/bbci/private "Target Directory": (D:\)git\bbci_private choose "full copy"

Starting the old Toolbox

To start the toolbox in Matlab do:

cd('~/svn/ida/public/bbci/toolbox/startup');
startup_bbci;

Furthermore, you should specify, where the EEG files are located. The convention for the toolbox is that there is one data folder (on the cluster it is /home/bbci/data/) which has the subfolders bbciRaw and bbciMat. When relative file name are used, the functions eegfile_loadBV and eegfile_loadMatlab would look in those folders.
For a complete setup you should add something like the following to your local startup.m:

global DATA_DIR BBCI_PRINTER
DATA_DIR='/home/bbci/data/';
BBCI_PRINTER= 1;
cd('~/svn/ida/public/bbci/toolbox/startup');
startup_bbci;
set_general_port_fields('localhost');
setup_bbci_online;
