Software for CSPM

The following software is used for CSPM.

Software	Required?	Instructions	Version
MATLAB	Yes	Install with default options 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.

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).
