[Homer-users] a basic question about installment

[Daniel Kessler]

Hi Hongyu,
     It sounds like maybe you don't have the signal processing toolbox for
MATLAB, which is a requirement for Homer.m

Perhaps things are getting confusing because you have MCR on the computer
where you already have MATLAB. Do you have another computer available that
does NOT have MATLAB where you could try installing the MCR first, and then
running Homer.exe? If so, that may be a good troubleshooting step that can
help us figure out how to get Homer installed on the computer where you DO
have MATLAB.
