Installation

Choose one of the three alternatives: easy / medium / advanced, followed by activation in MATLAB.

Easy

  • Open Add-Ons Explorer in MATLAB: in the Home tab and the Environment section, click the Add-Ons icon
  • Search for GECKO Toolbox and click Add -> Add to MATLAB
  • Run activation in MATLAB
Upgrade GECKO as MATLAB Add-On
  • In the Home tab, click on Help > Check for Updates
  • Click on the Update button for GECKO Toolbox
  • If GECKO Toolbox is not mentioned among the Updates, it might help to restart MATLAB
  • Run activation in MATLAB

Medium

Upgrade to latest GECKO release
  • Optional: run pathtool to remove all mentions of the GECKO folder and subfolders from the MATLAB path, and click Save. This prevents potential warning messages regarding non-existing paths when opening MATLAB anew.
  • Close MATLAB.
  • First delete the complete GECKO folder from your computer.
  • Download the latest release of the GECKO Toolbox.
  • Extract the ZIP file to your favourite directory.
  • Run activation in MATLAB

Advanced

  • This approach is recommended, but requires git to be installed.
  • In Terminal/Command Prompt, navigate to the desired installation directory and run the following Git command:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/SysBioChalmers/GECKO .git

Activation in MATLAB

  • Skip step 1 if GECKO was installed as MATLAB Add-On (easy):
  1. In MATLAB, navigate to the directory where GECKO was installed: cd('C:\path\to\GECKO') % Modify to match GECKO folder and operating system
  2. In the MATLAB Command Window, run GECKOInstaller.install

All set! 🚀
