Setting up Iris

This section describes how to install Iris, start and quit an Iris session, and how to customise some of the Iris configuration options.

The most common way of starting an Iris session (after you have installed the Iris files on your disk) is to run the following line in the Matlab command window:

addpath C:\IrisT_Tbx; irisstartup();

The first command, addpath, adds the Iris root folder to the Matlab search path. The second command, iris.startup(), initialises Iris and puts the other necessary Iris subfolders, classes, and internal packages on the search path. *Neveradd these other subfolders, classes and packages to the search path by yourself.
