Installation Instructions

1. Unzip the ADVISOR executable to the folder of your choice
2. Start MATLAB and change your current (active) directory to be the top-level ADVISOR directory from step 1.
3. To run ADVISOR, type advisor at the MATLAB command prompt.

Note: ADVISOR now automatically adds the necessary paths beyond the top-level ADVISOR directory and gives the option of saving these paths so they do not need to be added the next time.

Building the ADVISOR Documentation

ADVISOR does not require any building or compilation steps. Furthermore, we ship all ADVISOR documentation as HTML located in the documentation directory. However, for advanced users or ADVISOR developers, please note that we are in the process of transitioning the ADVISOR documentation over to a Markdown format.

Processing the markdown files into HTML requires a recent versions of Ruby, Rake, and Pandoc to be installed. Because the installation of Ruby, Rake, and Pandoc is an advanced topic, we will continue to provide both raw markdown files and the generated HTML files.

However, should you want to build the documentation, the following versions of Ruby, Rake, and Pandoc are recommended:

• Ruby >= 2.0.0p0
• Rake >= 10.0.3 -- use "gem install rake"
• Pandoc >= 1.10.1

To create HTML from the markdown files, change to the documentation directory. From the command line type "rake gen_html". For a list of additional rake tasks, type "rake -T".
