System requirements

Mandatory Requirements

In order to use the M3-toolbox you must have at least the following:

• Matlab version 7.2 or 7.3. Previous versions may work if you are lucky, it depends on what you need. The same goes for later versions, albeit to a lesser degree.

In addition the following Matlab toolboxes are strongly recommended

• Neural Network Toolbox
• Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox
• Optimization Toolbox

The M3-Toolbox will work on every operating system that Matlab supports (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, Solaris, ...), see the matlab website for details.

Compilation Requirements

If you want to compile the toolbox from source you will need:

• Java SDK v1.5 or greater (we have only tested the version from Sun Microsystems)
• Apache Ant (http://ant.apache.org/)

If you want to use the LS-SVMlab library or compile any of the C/C++ examples you will need the standard GNU tools (make, gcc, ...) as well.

See the installation instructions for how to compile the toolbox.
