[Homer-users] A problem installing Homer

It sounds like you are trying to install the Homer2_UI executable rather than use the matlab scripts within matlab. This requires the matlab MCRinstaller for the given version of matlab. This large MCRinstaller file is indicated in the installation instructions. If you already have matlab on the computer and didn’t install the MCRinstaller, then it must be a different version of matlab than the one used to create the Homer2_UI executable. If you did install the MCRinstaller, then it must somehow be comflicting with the version of matlab you already have installed on your computer, although that would surprise me.

Since it sounds like you already have matlab on your computer, then I suggest you use the script version of Homer2 that you run through matlab rather than the executable that you run as a stand alone. The installation instructions provide the information you need for this.

We have a problem installing Homer2 on one specific laptop (the Matlab is an associate licensed machine) and I was wondering if you may be able to provide any advice about whether the problem lies with Homer or Matlab as we haven't see it in other installations. We haven't had any problems with the installation with any other Matlab connected toolbox except with Homer2 which is why I am asking.



When following the installation instructions and try to use  Homer2_UI or setpath. It comes up as Undefined function or variable... Then we get a new dialog box  Cannot locate a valid install area.



Again, we don't generally have this problem with other installations, it appears to be connected to Homer2 in some way, though I am not clear why. Do you know what it could be?
