Requirements

  1. MATLAB 2019a and newer. Toolboxes: Optimization, Image processing, Curve fitting, Statistics and Machine Learning. A fully functional stand-alone version that does not require a MATLAB license but is limited in extendability can be downloaded from https://www.embl.de/download/ries/SMAPCompiled/ (Installation notes see below).

  2. Mac or Windows

  3. For GPU fitting: Windows, NVIDIA graphics card. CUDA driver (recommended: version 7.5). All fitters also come with a CPU version that is used when these specifications are not met.

Installation

  1. Clone git repository:

    a. Use Terminal (MacOS) or Cmd (Win). Use cd to navigate to the target directory. (e.g. cd git)

    b. Type: git clone https://github.com/jries/SMAP and type in your username and password for your git account.

  2. Install Micromanager 1.4.22 from https://micro-manager.org

  3. If needed install www.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/downloads

  4. In MATLAB: run SMAP.m, if questioned, change folder.

  5. In the Menu select SMAP/Preferences... Switch to the Directories tab and select the directories of Micro-Manager and of the bioformats_package.jar. Press Save and exit.

Typical install times: 15 minutes.

Installation of stand-alone version

  1. Download the respective version from https://www.embl.de/download/ries/SMAPCompiled/ corresponding to your operating system.
  2. Follow the installation notes in Installation_notes_SMAP_compiled.rtf which can be found under the previous link.
