MATLAB Installation
Blocks requires the following software to be somewhere on your MATLAB path in order to run:
Download and unpack the latest
Blocks distribution in a directory of your choice
(e.g. ~/src/blocks
). Let BLOCKSROOT
denote
this directory.
Blocks must be added to MATLAB search path by running
the blocks_setup
command found in
the BLOCKSROOT
directory. From MATLAB prompt
enter
> cd BLOCKSROOT > blocks_setup
blocks_setup
alters the search path for the current MATLAB
session only (it does not save the changes). To make the change
permanent, add the following fragment to your
startup.m
file:
p=pwd ; cd BLOCKSROOT ; blocks_setup ; cd(p) ; clear p
Alternatively, you can use the
savepath
command to save the updated search paths.
Repository access
Blocks is under active development. You can browse our Git repository or download it by
git clone git://github.com/vlblocks/vlblocks.git
(This will require Git to be installed). The top of the master branch corresponds to the most recent version of Blocks, but is unstable.
We welcome contributions to both the documentation and the source
code of Blocks. You can create patches against our Git repository and
send them to us for inclusion in the next version. There are two ways
to contribute. For minor changes, simply clone our public repository,
as explained above. Once you have made and committed your changes
locally, you can submit them to the project via e-mail using a command
like git-format-patch
:
git-format-patch origin
For major additions, we prefer to handle collaboration through github. Follow their tutorial to fork our project and submit your modifications using a pull request.
