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

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

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;
