Setting up matRad

This is the quick setup guide for matRad

To get matRad running you have two options:

1. Source Code for people with Matlab installation:

If you have MATLAB you can just get a local copy of the matRad source code. Then you have to choose whether you want to use the matRad GUI or execute the matRad script.

2. Standalone installation:

If you do not have MATLAB installed on your PC you are restricted to use matRad's standalone application. For this option a MATLAB installation is not required. The installer is available for Windows, Mac and Linux with the latest matRad release.

Steps for installation:

1. Download the matRad installer for your system (Win64, Mac64, Linux64)

3. Patient/Phantom files

The patient files should be included with the installer and will be installed into the desired location. For windows, for example, they can be found within the "application" folder of the chosen installation directory. Moreover, we also provide extra links to the open source patient files stored in matRad's native *.mat format for a head and neck case, a liver case, a prostate case, a box phantom, and AAPM's TG119 phantom. Otherwise you need to start with a DICOM import of your own patient data.
