Installing PLS Toolbox

Installing PLS_Toolbox

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.
