Where To Get It

Getting the NeuroRighter Software

There are two ways that you can get NR on your computer. You can use the microscoft installer (*.msi) to install the latest stable release like you would any other Windows application. If you are interested in the latest functionality that has been added to NR, then you can compile it from source. 

Installing NeuroRighter using the .MSI file

  1. NeuroRighter has a few dependencies that you must install before using the software. If you don't have these dependencies, NeuroRighter may install properly, but will not be able to start. If this is the case, you should get an textbox upon attempting to start the NeuroRighter software informing you of the missing dependcies. These are:
    • Microsoft XNA framework v3.1: found here.
      • Used for rapid plotting of waveforms
    • NI Device Drivers:  found here.
      • Used to control the NI boards that NR uses for IO.
    • Download these installers and follow the instructions presented for installation
  2. Go to the downloads section of the google code site:  http://code.google.com/p/neurorighter/downloads/list
    • Download the featured NR release
    • Open the .msi and follow the instructions

Compiling NeuroRighter in VS2010

  • All NeuroRighter source code the NeuroRighter google-code site: http://code.google.com/p/neurorighter/
  • If you wish to compile the latest version of NR, you will need the raw library versions of the XNA 3.1 framework:
  • Additionally, you will need some version of MS Visual studio
  • Finally, you will need NI measurement studio, which provides a bunch of tools for developing data acquisition software in .NET. Chances are, if you are at an academic institution, that you have a site license for this.
  • Once you have all those things, checkout the latest trunk revision, open the solution file in VS2010, and compile.
