Windows: Just download the binaries and run them from the Windows command prompt. Some folks have gotten TISEAN to work by copying the executable files in the Bin folder of the Windows TISEAN Package and using the command prompt through MatLab's system( ) function. For example if 'mutual.exe' and 'datafile' are in the current folder, we can run: system('mutual datafile -o output') which creates the 'output' file in the current Matlab directory.. ----- Mac: Download the binaries, then install them and fire up a Terminal window. (You can also install them by typing 'brew install tisean' if you're a brew user.) Navigate to the Tisean folder to run the commands. You may need to use the ./ syntax - i.e., ./mutual datafile -o outputfile rather than just mutual datafile -o outputfile. ----- In the CSEL: TISEAN is in /usr/lib/tisean on all of the CSEL desktops, as well as these two ssh-accessible machines: elra-01.cs.colorado.edu elra-02.cs.colorado.edu You can sign up for an account on these machines by going to sac.colorado.edu and choosing "CSEL" from the dropdown. If you have any trouble, email trouble@cs.colorado.edu. The IT folks were kind enough to add a shell function called 'tisean' that will put /usr/lib/tisean in your $PATH. Just open up a shell, type 'tisean', then all of the tools should be available to you. To run {\tt mutual}, for instance, you would just type the command name and then the arguments that specify how you want to run it (e.g., what input data, what parameter values, how you want it to output the data): mutual datafile -o outputfile If that doesn't work, try using the ./ syntax described above: ./mutual datafile -o outputfile
