STEP 1) FILE EXTRACTION.
NEW INSTALLATIONS:
Open the self extracting archive PLS_Toolbox.exe (or open
the standard PLS_Toolbox.zip archive with an archive utility) and
'unzip' the files into your Matlab toolbox directory.
This will create the toolbox functions, demos, and documentation.
UPDATING FROM OLD VERSION:
WITH FULL COPY:
If you have a previous version of PLS_Toolbox
and you are installing a full copy of a new version, you should
first rename or remove any old versions of the toolbox prior to
installation. After removing old versions, follow the directions
for "NEW INSTALLATIONS" above.
STEP 2) RUN EVRIINSTALL.
For MATLAB to find all PLS_Toolbox files, all the directories
that contain the toolbox files must be added to the MATLAB search
path (except @DATASET folder). Start MATLAB and follow these steps:
1) Go to the Current Directory window in MATLAB.
2) Select the PLS_TOOLBOX directory created in step one by browsing
for it or typing the full path into the field.
3) Once PLS_TOOLBOX is the current directory type "evriinstall" at
the command line (in the COMMAND WINDOW). EVRIINSTALL will add the
PLS_TOOLBOX to the path, check for any installations problems, and
output results to the command window.
NOTE: All variables in the workspace will be cleared!
STEP 3) GETTING STARTED AND HELP
Chapter 1 of the PDF document "PLS_Manual_3.pdf" (located
in the main PLS_Toolbox folder) contains a detailed getting
started guide and has a list of suggested manual readings.
Type "helppls" at the command line to open the help browser to a list
of PLS_Toolbox help topics.
