2.1  Installation

Steps of an installation are

• Install SDT.
  • The current starting point is SDT 6.8 beta which can be dowloaded from http://www.sdtools.com/distrib/beta/sdtcur_dis.p. To obtain a SDT license key, you should then use the procedure at http://www.sdtools.com/faq/Release.html.
  • To save multiple SDT installations, see http://www.sdtools.com/faq/Release.html#multi
  • You must have write permission in the SDT directory so that it can be patched by yourself. If this is not the case you should install SDT somewhere in your own directories. For example use target='c:/sdtdata/hbm/sdt.cur' to avoid install to the traditionnal directory matlabroot/toolbox/sdt, see http://www.sdtools.com/faq/Release.html#multi.
  • For multi-boot systems (windows, linux), use a single SDT (see item above). This will avoid the need to install patches on both installations.
• For the target SDT a patch is always needed. Patches to SDT are files named hbm_patch_disp.p. They can be obtained using a call of the form

   hbm_utils('DistribGetPatch') % Install the patch
   hbm_utils('DistribCheck')    % Run basic check of versions
  

  • The command only downloads the patch, you are then supposed to click on the link cd('d:/del/scratch');hbm_patch_dis;rehash toolboxreset % do so that the patch is installed. The two step procedure is needed to give you a chance that the location of the patch install is correct.
  • You must have write permission in the SDT directory, see first item of install.
• a copy of the SDT-HBM code. Two cases are possible
  • a deployement version obtained from SDTools as a crypted 7z file, this requires the existence of a license.txt file in your base SDT directory.
  • a SVN version obtained by a checkout on URL http://support.sdtools.com/svn/hbm/trunk. For details on SVN clients to do a checkout, contact SDTools. It is expected that your rename your local copy of the trunk directory HBM. This will then be the base of your SDT-HBM directory structure.

The SDT-HBM directory structure is

• hbm/m contains all the Matlab files needed to run SDT-HBM.
• hbm/help contains the documentation, see hbm_utils Help to update.
• sdt.cur classical location for SDT installation associated with SDT HBM.
• hbm/test contains the files needed for testing. This is used for t_hbm log.
• hbm/tex the root file is hbm.tex. It contains all the includes for other documentation files. Figures are stored as .pdf or .png in directory plots subdirectory, see hbm_utils Latex to recompile. Documention contributions are welcome.
