EzyFit Installation

# EzyFit Installation

EzyFit needs Matlab 7.0 or higher. It has been tested under 7.0 to 7.6 (R2008a), but mainly under Windows XP. The command-line functions (e.g. `ezfit`, `showfit`...) work equally well on all systems. However graphical operations (e.g. `selectfit`, `getslope`...) may not be fully stable, especially on non-Windows systems, and/or for recent Matlab releases.

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. 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 upgrade from an earlier version, type `rehash toolbox` to make sure that Matlab refreshes the function cache.

5. 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 2-5.
