Installation

Github repositories

You can install this scitranClient and another essential toolbox, Guillaume Flandin's code to read and write JSON files (JSONio) by

git clone https://github.com/vistasoft/scitran
git clone https://github.com/gllmflndn/JSONio

This will create two directories, scitran and JSONio. Please add both directories to your path, say by using

chdir(<scitran directory>); addpath(genpath(pwd));
chdir(<JSONio directory>); addpath(genpath(pwd));

Flywheel SDK

Matlab toolbox Add-Ons toolbox

First installation

The SDK is installed as a Matlab toolbox managed using their 'Add-Ons' methods. You can do the installation with the scitran function from Matlab

stFlywheelSDK('install');

That command downloads the toolbox from the web and installs it as an Add-On toolbox. You can verify that the toolbox was installed using

stFlywheelSDK('verify')

>   Name: 'flywheel-sdk'
>   Version: '2.5.0'
>   Guid: 'd2fd5657-1710-494e-b5e9-23903828bfb3'

Upgrading

The SDK is under active development, and we anticipate several new releases through 2018 and into 2019. To install a new specific release number, we suggest you uninstall, restart matlab, and then install. We have done this sequence several times with success; we haven't succeeded without the restart. For example, to upgrade to version '2.5.0' you can do this:

stFlywheelSDK('uninstall');   % This uninstalls the current version
...
**RESTART MATLAB**
....
stFlywheelSDK('install','sdkVersion','2.5.0');   % The latest version changes over time. 

Wonkish

The SDK is auto-generated into several different languages (Matlab, Python, and R).
