[edit] Preamble
Installing SPM on Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7) should be relatively straightforward. Two common pitfalls common to all versions of SPM:
- If you use WinZip to unpack SPM's *.tar.gz archives, make sure to uncheck "Tar file smart CR/LF conversion", which is under the "miscellaneous" tab in "configuration" under "options", as it could corrupt some of SPM files otherwise. 7-Zip is a good open source software alternative.
- It is not recommended to install SPM in MATLAB's toolbox folder as MATLAB toolbox directories can be cached and changes in SPM files (such as updates) might not appear when using SPM. See Toolbox Path Caching and rehash
- If you get errors regarding "gui_mainfcn", you have to reset your MATLAB path (probably following an installation of a new MATLAB release), use the button "Default" in File > Set Path. See also restoredefaultpath.
[edit] SPM8
[edit] Installation
- Download spm8.zip and its updates spm8_updates_rxxxx.zip
- Unzip spm8.zip in a folder of your choice, such as C:\spm\spm8, and unzip spm8_updates_rxxxx.zip on top of it so that newer files overwrite existing files.
- Start MATLAB and add SPM into your path, either using File > Set Path > Add Folder... or typing
>> addpath C:\spm\spm8
in MATLAB's workspace.
- Launch SPM by typing
>> spm
[edit] Compilation
Precompiled MEX files (*.mexw32) are provided with SPM8 and you shouldn't need to recompile them by yourself.
[edit] SPM5
[edit] Installation
- Download spm5.zip.
- Unzip spm5.zip in a folder of your choice, such as C:\spm\spm5.
- Start MATLAB and add SPM into your path, either using File > Set Path > Add Folder... or typing
>> addpath C:\spm\spm5
in MATLAB's workspace.
- Launch SPM by typing
>> spm
[edit] Compilation
See Compilation of SPM5 MEX files on Windows.
[edit] SPM2
[edit] Installation
- Download spm2.tar.gz and its updated MEX files SPM2_R2007a_XP_MEX.zip
- Unzip spm2.tar.gz in a folder of your choice, such as C:\spm\spm2, and unzip SPM2_R2007a_XP_MEX.zip on top of it so that newer files overwrite existing files.
- Start MATLAB and add SPM into your path, either using File > Set Path > Add Folder... or typing
>> addpath C:\spm\spm2
in MATLAB's workspace.
- Launch SPM by typing
>> spm
