Installing GVML

To install GVML, you need to do the following two steps:

1. add the directory containing the m-files, for example, /usr/your_name/mfiles/, to the MATLABPATH environment variable;
2. customize the GVML m-files for your UNIX system.

1. Setting MATLABPATH

• (a) Directly from the Matlab command line, retrieve the current path and append the path of the directory containing the m-files

  	p = path;
  	path(p, '/usr/your_name/mfiles');
  

  or

• (b) Using the UNIX C-shell, add the following line to your .cshrc file in your home directory /usr/your_name

  	setenv MATLABPATH /usr/your_name/mfiles/
  

  or

• (c) Using the Bourne shell, add the following lines to your .profile file in your home directory /usr/your_name

  	MATLABPATH = /usr/your_name/mfiles/
  	export MATLABPATH
  

For more details, see the Matlab Reference Guide or the Matlab User's Guide.

2. Customizing GVML

• (a) set the path for a temporary file in your system
• (b) set the remove file command for your system

	tmpfile = '/tmp/matlabdata.oogl';
	remove = '/bin/rm -f';
