The following software is used for CSPM. An asterisk (*) A star indicates further instructions below the table.

Software	Required?	Instructions	Version
MATLAB	Yes	Install with default options * Set Set startup file to run for all users	2013 or later Toolboxes <required>: statistics, database, image processing, signal processing; <optional> parallel processing
MySQL	Yes	Uninstall any previous versions; you may want to delete the data (backup the database before), which is in C:\ProgramData\MySQL. The folder is hidden, so type in the address; delete the MySQL folder. ** Google "mysql community server"; download and run "MySQL Installer"; choose the large file (~270MB in 2014) as this is more reliable than the other. Run the downloaded installer; choose custom installation, and select the 64-bit MySQL Server, the Workbench, and the Connector/J. Choose the default options; write down the password for the "root" account (root is a common term for Administrator account); there is no need to create user accounts.	Latest version; as of writing, we are on version 5.6. The Workbench is significantly updated as of version 6.1.
Office	No - Used for saving subject information, timetrend files, MRI plots, documentation	Normal installation.	Any version since 2003.
CorelDraw	No - used for saving summaries of plots and MRI figures (check reg)	Normal installation (start once, get rid of splash screen)	Any recent version
VMware Player	No - required for Linux programs (FSL, FreeSurfer)	Google VMware Player; you will probably land on the VMware downloads page, which has VMware Player right at the botttom (link on right of page). Download- you probably need to register (but it's free). Normal installation - take defaults.	Version 6 and above
PuTTY	No - required for CSPM to run commands in Linux	Google PuTTY, go to the downloads page, choose the Windows installer, install with default options.	Any recent version
Google Drive	No - used to keeping synchornized with latest matlab files	Go to your Google account, select the Drive App, and install on your computer. Sign in to your account. Get the link from Paul to the matlab folder; open this link, and "Add to Drive" (top-right). Google drive will synchronize everything on your Google drive with the folder "Google Drive" on your computer, which will show up under Favorites. (The first time matlab will take 3-5 hours to sync.)	Any version.
SAS	No - used for Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis of fMRI and physiology	Standard installation.	Any version.

MATLAB startup file: when started, MATLAB will run a script if it finds a file called "startup.m". This is useful for automatically starting SPM, including various versions. In ~2012 and earlier versions, this script was located in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\local. However, in later versions, this file defaults to users' local folders (in Documents), which is a problem if more than on person uses the computer. To have MATLAB run the same script for all users (recommended):

- With Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox\local (R2012a will vary according to the version installed)
- Set the permissions to read/write: Right-click over the folder name, Properties, Security tab, Edit, select "Users", check "Full control", OK, OK.
- Copy the provided startup.m file into this folder
- When you start MATLAB, it should run the script (startup.m is the script).
