Installing the module

Windows XP

1. Download the module in the current version for Windows und unzip it.

2. Usually, your Windows system folder will be found as C:\\WINDOWS\system32. If so, you may skip this point.

   If this is not the case, you have to speficy it in setup.cfg. Just change the right part of the following expression (there is also a template in the template folder)

   [system]
   windows_path = C:\\WINDOWS\system32
   

   into your individual path.

3. Next, start a console, change to the location into the unzipped folder (where setup.py is lying) and type in:

   setup.py install

   This will install the PyBCI module in your Python site-packages folder.

2. Calling:

   make
   

   will compile the PyBCI source funtions.

   and PyBCI should be installed properly.
