Software update

Version control

  • Using the system terminal, navigate to the Bpod_Gen2 folder
  • Run: git pull

Automatic, if not using Git

Note

An experimental auto-updater for non-git installations is included with the latest Bpod software. It is not available on all platforms, and as new software it carries the risk of malfunction in your particular MATLAB + PC configuration. If you choose to use it,

  • Manually back up your Bpod_Gen2 folder as a precaution.
    • Run UpdateBpodSoftware() at the MATLAB command line, and follow all prompts
    • Please report any bugs or unexpected behavior to support@sanworks.io
