At Dartmouth, follow [[https://​tech.dartmouth.edu/​itc/​services-support/​help-yourself/​knowledge-base/​matlab|these instructions]] to install MATLAB. Release 2018a seems to work.

 This "​pull"​ should do nothing, because you already have the latest version. The basic idea is that you can stay up-to-date easily as well as contribute to the codebase so that everyone else can benefit. As you might expect, that part is known as a "​push",​ which we will do in the next step. This "​pull"​ should do nothing, because you already have the latest version.

At Dartmouth or elsewhere, you'll need to connect to the lab server. E-mail MvdM for instructions on how to do that.
  
 For this module you will need the ''​R016-2012-10-08''​ folder (containing data from one recording session), which you can find in the ''​\promoted\R016''​ folder on the share. Copy this folder onto your own computer. A good place to put it is in something like ''​D:​\data\promoted\''​ (Rxxx indicate different rats, followed by the date of each session). As mentioned, in general you want to keep your data separate from your code; for instance, multiple analysis projects may use the same data, so you don't want to duplicate it. For this module you will need the ''​R016-2012-10-08''​ folder (containing data from one recording session), which you can find in the ''​\promoted\R016''​ folder on the share.
