INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WINDOWS: 

  1. Save and unpack the k-Wave zip file to a suitable folder, eg. 

    C:\Program Files\MATLAB\<version>\toolbox\k-Wave

  2. Add this folder, to the Matlab path, using the dropdown menus: 
  File, Set Path, Add Folder. Alternatively add the line:

    addpath('<pathname>\k-Wave')

  eg. addpath('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009a\toolbox\k-Wave'), 

  to the startup.m file. If no startup.m file exists, create one and save 
  it in the Matlab startup directory or any directory in the Matlab path. 

  3. Finally, restart Matlab, or run the command

    >> startup

  in order to add the path to the current Matlab session.


LINUX: 

  1. Save and unpack the k-Wave zip file to a suitable folder, eg. 
  ~/Matlab/k-Wave

  2. Add the line 

    addpath('<pathname>/k-Wave')

  eg. addpath('~/Matlab/k-Wave'), 

  to the startup.m file. If no startup.m file exists, create one and save 
  it in the Matlab startup directory or any directory in the Matlab path. 

  3. Finally, restart Matlab, or run the command

    >> startup

  in order to add the path to the current Matlab session.
