System Requirements

FOCUS currently supports Linux kernel 2.4 or above, Windows XP or above, and Mac OS X.

At this time, we strongly recommend against using MATLAB R2008b on Unix-based systems. There are several unresolved issues with MATLAB R2008b that may prevent FOCUS from running.

Installation Instructions

  1. Download the appropriate file — note that older versions of FOCUS will work in newer versions of MATLAB, e.g. FOCUS for MATLAB R2010a will work in MATLAB R2010b.
  2. Unzip the file to a folder of your choice
  3. Add the folder to the MATLAB path

For more detailed instructions, see the Installation Guide.

If you install the software and it doesn't work on your machine, please let us know so we can fix the problem in future versions.
