1. Binary download the archive to the directory you want BeamLab to reside
2. Uncompress the archive: 
       unzip BeamLab200PR2.zip
3. Decide where you want the BeamLab directory to reside. It will have
   a number of subdirectories and occupy at least 10 MB disk space.
4. After you de-tar the file for your machine, you should have the
   following directory structure:
   
   BeamLab200
   BeamLab200/Beamlets
   BeamLab200/Beamlets/Beamlet2D
   BeamLab200/Beamlets/Beamlet3D
   BeamLab200/CurvPublish
   BeamLab200/Datasets
   BeamLab200/Documentation
   BeamLab200/MexSource
   BeamLab200/Papers
   BeamLab200/Papers/BL3d
   BeamLab200/Papers/BMIA
   BeamLab200/Papers/DCRT
   BeamLab200/Papers/DRT
   BeamLab200/Papers/FSS
   BeamLab200/Papers/RP
   BeamLab200/Ridgelets
   BeamLab200/SlantStack
   BeamLab200/Utilities
   BeamLab200/Workouts
   
   
5. Edit the file BeamPath.m, put the lines
       if strcmp(Friend,'<YourMachineType>'),
           BEAMLABPATH = '<AbsolutePathNameforBeamLabMainDirectory>' ;
           PATHNAMESEPARATOR = '<YourMachine*sPathSeparator>';
       end
   in the appropriate place (this will be evident). Here the value of variable Friend has been defined by the Matlab command 
       computer; 
   Also, BEAMPATH names the place where BeamLab will reside. For an individual user without root privileges, a good choice is
       ~<USERLOGIN>/matlab/BeamLab
   where <USERLOGIN> is the user's account name. For a system manager with root privileges, a good choice is    
       <MatlabToolBoxPath>/BeamLab                         
   where <MatlabToolBoxPath> is the name of the directory containing all the Matlab toolboxes.
   
6. Copy all the BeamLab files from the place you put the original BeamLab archive (for example /tmp) to their final destination as named in the variable BEAMLABPATH, for example in your home directory 
       ~user/matlab/BeamLab.
7. Launch Matlab.  In Matlab, set the current path to
       matlabroot/toolbox/BeamLab200
   Alternatively, copy the file BeamPath.m from
       <MatlabToolBoxPath>/BeamLab200
   to
       <MatlabToolBoxPath>/local
8. Try running a script, such as 
       FSSDemo
   to see if it will run. If it does not, recheck all the above steps.

Note:

1. If you want Matlab to automatically load BeamLab upon start-up, copy the file BeamPath.m from the BeamLab200 folder to the folder <MatlabToolBoxPath>/local. If you already have a startup.m file in the directory matlab/toolbox/local, add to it the line 
       BeamPath;
    otherwise, rename the file BeamPath.m as startup.m.
2. Upon successful installation, remove the zip file to save space.

Many of the basic routines in BeamLab can be accelerated by the use of Mex files. These are binaries of routines coded in C and run in some cases 10 times faster than their .m counterparts. They will be installed automatically by Matlab when you run Matlab if you have permissions to write the files in the correct places. Hence if you are system manager, you should run Matlab at least once after BeamLab has been installed in order to perform the installation procedure. To check if the process has worked, try the matlab command 
    which BestWedgeletPartition
You should get the response  
    <BEAMLABPATH>/MEXSource/BeamMEXSource/BestWedgeletPartition.mexlx 
or something similar. If you get instead an .m suffix rather than .mex
    <BEAMLABPATH>/MEXSource/BeamMEXSource/BestWedgeletPartition.m 
start troubleshooting.

If you cannot get the MEX files to install automatically, you can download mex files for certain platforms from us. These can be installed manually, copying them into the appropriate locations. For example, the file BestWedgeletPartition.mexsg64 needs to be copied to the same directory of the file BestWedgeletPartition.m
In general, each .mex file needs to be in the directory of its homologous .m file.

If you are unable to get the .mex files to work at all, don't worry -- BeamLab will still work, but more slowly.

Compare the output of 
    ls -r BeamLab 
with 
    Documentation/WLFiles 
to see if you have all the files. Compare the output of the Matlab command 
    path 
with the list above to see if you have all the directories in your path.

When you have a successful installation, you should see something like the following when you invoke Matlab:
