EzyFit Installation

EzyFit Installation

EzyFit needs Matlab 7.0 or higher. It has been tested under 7.0 to 7.10 (R2010a), but mainly under Windows XP. The command-line functions (e.g. ezfit, showfit...) work equally well on all systems. However graphical operations (e.g. getslope, showslope...) may not be fully stable, especially on non-Windows systems.

1. Download and unzip the EzyFit Toolbox in a directory somewhere in your system. For instance, in a Windows XP installation, the directory My Documents/MATLAB/toolbox/ezyfit may be a good location. Do NOT install the toolbox in the Matlab directory itself (Program Files/Matlab directory in Windows). If you upgrade from an older version, first empty the previous directory.

2. From the menu 'File > Set Path', click on 'Add Folder' (not 'with subfolders') and select the ezyfit directory. Click on 'Save' and 'Close'.

3. Restart Matlab. From the Start button, select Toolboxes > EzyFit to check that the toolbox is correctly recognized by your system.

4. If you want to always have the Ezyfit menu in your figures, type efmenu install. This will create or update your 'startup.m' file in the directory /toolbox/local of your Matlab installation.

Note: If you upgrade Matlab and you want to use your previous Ezyfit installation, you just have to follow the steps 2-4.
