Using the PLS_Toolbox Windows Installer.
1) RUN THE INSTALLER:
It is recommended that Windows users use the PLS_Toolbox Windows
Installer. Copy the .exe file to your Desktop (or other suitable
local location). Then double click the icon and follow the
instructions. Be sure to verify the location of the installation
folder, by default it will be the "toolbox" folder of your current
MATLAB installation. When the Installer has completed, it will
prompt you to start MATLAB and run an install script. If MATLAB
doesn't start see Step 2 below.
Manually Installing PLS_Toolbox from ZIP File.
1) FILE EXTRACTION:
Decompress the PLS_Toolbox ZIP file and move it to the MATLAB
"toolbox" folder (e.g. C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\R2006a\\toolbox).
Note: For those who already have a version of PLS_Toolbox
installed, be sure the folders do not have the same name
(by default they should not be). Rename your existing copy of
PLS_Toolbox if necessary.
2) RUN EVRIINSTALL:
For MATLAB to find PLS_Toolbox the directories that contain the
toolbox files must be added to the MATLAB search path (except
the @DATASET folder). (Note if you are familiar with installing
toolboxes purchased from The MathWorks, this process is slightly
different. TMW installers typically are able to set the path
automatically.)
Start MATLAB and follow these steps:
a) Start MATLAB and use the Current Directory toolbar to
navigate to the PLS_Toolbox directory created in Step One.
b) Once PLS_Toolbox is the current directory type evriinstall at
the command line (in the COMMAND WINDOW):
>> evriinstall
A small dialog box will appear. Change the settings as need
then click the Install button. EVRIINSTALL will add the
PLS_TOOLBOX to the path, check for any installations
problems, and output results to the command window.
c) Near the end of the installation you will be prompted for
your License Code. Simply copy and paste the code into the
dialog box, click "OK", and the installation will complete.
Getting Started and Help
Chapters 1 and 2 of the PDF document "PLS_Manual_4.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.
