Edrive Files

This repository contains all files required to convert a Linux OS into an Edrive. This has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Lubuntu 14.04.

Requirements

The install.sh Bash script installs all required packages.

Matlab Installation

Although Matlab installation is initiated from the install.sh script, it is better to install Matlab manually from a terminal. The install.sh script can be used as a guideline for this. The steps are as follows:

1. Install the NFS client package: sudo apt-get install rpcbind nfs-common
2. Create a new directory to mount the TU/e server on: mkdir /software
3. Mount the TU/e server to the created directory: mount hercules.tue.nl:/vol/hercules/software/linux /software
4. Go to the directory where Matlab is located: cd /software/matlab-2014b
5. Install the software: ./install

All toolboxes can be installed, but if storage space is an issue, the following packages can be removed:

• Aerospace Blockset
• Aerospace Toolbox
• Bioinformatics
• Communication Systems
• Computer Vision
• Econometrics
• Financial Instruments
• Financial Toolbox
• Fuzzy Logic
• Global Optimization
• Image Acquisition
• Image Processing
• Neural Network
• Parallel Computing
• SimBiology
• SimElectronics
• SimEvents
• SimHydraulics
• SimMechanics
• SimPowerSystems
• SimRF
• Wavelet Toolbox

Matlab Activation

Once Matlab has been installed it has to be activated. The procedure is as follows:

1. In a terminal become super user by typing sudo su.
2. Open the Matlab activation procedure by typing matlab.
3. Select: Activate automatically using the Internet.
4. Under Log in to my MathWorks Account enter the Matlab credentials.
5. Clik next under License Selection.
6. Type root under Login Name.
7. Click Confirm and then Finish.

Running Matlab

Matlab has to be executed as Root user. The steps are as follows:

1. In a terminal become super user by tying sudo su.
2. Open Matlab by typing matlab.

Edrive Files

The ebox directory of this repository has to be put in the Linux /home/ directory.

Simulated Experiments

The scripts that are under Simulated Experiments have to be added. More information on how to do this can be found in the Simulated Experiments README.md.
