Two versions of mslice exist. The Matlab version can be run on any version of Matlab above 7.1, while a standalone version will run on any computer. The quick guide below demonstrates how to set up both versions.

== Windows ==

===Download===

[http://download.libisis.org/kits/mslice.zip Matlab Mslice]*
[http://download.libisis.org/kits/mslice_standalone.zip Stand Alone mslice]
[http://download.libisis.org/kits/MCRInstaller.exe MCRInstaller]

<nowiki> * requires Matlab 7.1 or above to run correctly. </nowiki>

===MCRInstaller===

This .exe file installs required components of Matlab on your computer. Admin rights are required to run this and it must be run the first time you download a standalone matlab application. If you have already run this file on your computer, you do not need to run it again. Run the file and follow the onscreen instructions.

===Set Up Examples===

Some examples are included with the program. These are .msp files used by mslice to store locations of various required data. For these to work correctly the set_up_examples.exe file must be run once whenever the directory that mslice resides in is changed.

===Use Mslice===

Double click the mslice.exe file located in the parent directory (the one the zip file was extracted to). An example should appear straight away. To look at other examples, click the parameters menu item and click load parameters. Then choose one of the other example .msp files to load.

==Mac==

No version is available for mac yet, unfortunately

==Linux==

No version is available for Linux yet, unfortuneately

−
−	* g95 Fortran compiler (or equivalent) OR Intel Fortran Compiler that is compatible with your version of Matlab.
−	* Matlab 7.1 or above
−
−
−	~~To MEX the files yourself:~~
−
−	* Download any Windows version 2 distribution of mslice and unzip to a folder of your choice.
−	* Follow the setup instructions below.
−	* Open Matlab
−	* Type >> mslice_mex('bit') where bit is either 32 for a 32 bit system or 64 for a 64 bit system (must be a string).
−	* You will be asked once for your fortran compiler - when asked to show installed compilers, select 'y' and then select either the Intel Fortran compiler or G95 compiler. If neither of these is on the list then you can not MEX the files yourself. Consult your computing services about aquiring one of these compilers.
−	* You will then be asked for your c compiler. Choose an appropriate compiler in the same way
−	* A success or fail message will be displayed.
−
−
−
−	~~==Setup==~~
−
−	~~===Version 2 Matlab===~~
−	* Unpack this file into <tt>'''C:\mprogs'''</tt> or a directory of your choice eg <tt>'''X:\analysis'''</tt>
−	* Open your startup.m file, if it does not exist then create it in the folder that matlab starts
−	* Add the following lines to the startup.m file
−
−	~~<pre> addpath('c:\mprogs\mslice') % where c:\mprogs\mslice is the folder you unzipped mslice into~~
−	~~mslice_init </pre>~~
−
−
−
−	~~===Version2 Standalone===~~
−
−	Before using a Matlab compiled product you must run MCRInstaller.exe. This .exe file installs required components of Matlab on your computer. Admin rights are required to run this and it must be run the first time you download a standalone matlab application. If you have already run this file on your computer, you do not need to run it again (for instance, you will have run this if you installed [[Download and setup LIBISIS\|stand alone Homer]]. Run the file and follow the onscreen instructions.

−
−	~~===Set Up Examples===~~
−
−	Some examples are included with the program. These are .msp files used by mslice to store locations of various required data. For these to work correctly the mslice_setup_examples.exe file must be run (in the standalone version) or type >> mslice_setup_examples. Do this once whenever the directory that mslice resides in is changed.
