Software update

Automatic

Note: an experimental auto-updater is included with the latest Bpod software. It is not available on all platforms, and as new software it carries the risk of malfunction in your particular MATLAB + PC configuration. If you choose to use it,

    • Manually back up your Bpod_Gen2 folder as a precaution.

    • Run UpdateBpodSoftware() at the MATLAB command line, and follow all prompts

    • Please report any bugs or unexpected behavior to support@sanworks.io

Manual

To manually update your Bpod software to the newest stable release,

If using SourceTree,

    • Close MATLAB and open SourceTree

    • Select the 'Bpod_Gen2' repository tab. If the tab is missing, click '+' and add it back.

    • Click 'Pull'

    • Double-click the latest version in the 'master' branch under 'Branches'

If NOT using SourceTree:

  • Close MATLAB

  • Backup your Bpod_Gen2 folder to a safe location

  • Delete Bpod_Gen2 from its original location (Do not change the MATLAB path)

  • Download the latest software from here: https://github.com/sanworks/Bpod_Gen2

    • Click 'Clone or Download' and select 'Download Zip'

    • Extract the downloaded Zip file to the original Bpod_Gen2 location

    • If desired, rename the root folder to remove '-master'

    • Make sure your MATLAB path includes the Bpod_Gen2 root folder (subfolders not required)
