Downloading

Obtaining the M3-Toolbox

You can freely download the toolbox for personal, academic, non-commercial use. In order to obtain a copy, please send an email to tom.dhaene-@-ua.ac.be stating:

• your name
• institution
• what you will use the toolbox for

We will then send you the necessary download information. This is just so we can get a better idea of who is using the software and what it is mainly used for.

Note: we are working on a proper, more user friendly, registration and download infrastructure which should be operational by summer 2007.

Available Versions

There are 4 versions available for download

M3-Toolbox-<version>-source.zip

There is no reason to use this version unless you want to compile everything from scratch.

M3-Toolbox-<version>-binary.zip

Macintosh OSX and Windows users should use this version.

In this version only the java files are compiled. This means it is fully functional out of the box, no need to compile anything, just as long as you do not use any of the built in C/C++ examples or the least squares support vector machines. If you want to use those you will have to compile the relevant C/C++ files yourself (see below).

This distribution will thus run on ANY machine that fullfills the requirements.

M3-Toolbox-<version>-binary-<arch>.zip

This is only for UNIX/Linux compatible operating systems

Here all source files are compiled. All you have to do is unzip and run. Make sure you pick the version that matches your computer. For example:

• x86_64 -> for 64bit computers (Opteron, Pentium D, Core Duo, ...)
• x86 -> 32bit x86 compatible architectures (Pentium 4, ...)

M3-Toolbox-snapshot-*.zip

These are nightly snapshots of our version control tree. Use this for the latest features and updates.

Warning: we do not guarantee this version wil always work or even compile.
