If you don't own a MATLAB license, you can use the binary distribution of this package. It is not as convenient as using MATLAB, however you should be able to use all functionality of this software. To start using VLB-DetEval follow these steps:
The command line interface requires either MATLAB R2017a or the MATLAB Compiler Rumtime (MCR) installed. If you do not have MATLAB, you can download and install the MCR for free from here. This package was developed with MATLAB 2017a and does not seem to work with other MATLAB SDK versions for various reasons (thanks Mathworks).
Please note that more than 3.5GB of free space is required for the latest MCR SDK.
To download the binary distribution of the VLB-Deteval, run:
$ ./get_bin.sh
Instead of calling just de
(as shown in the main tutorial), use:
./bin/run_de.sh <MCR_ROOT> command
and replace the MCR_ROOT with the installation path of the MATLAB MCR. For a simplicity, we would recommend to set up an alias to simplify the command:
$ alias de='./bin/run_de.sh <MCR_ROOT>'
then tou can call de
command directly from bash.
