Usage
Instructions for using the Online PSTH plugin are available here.
Building from source
First, follow the instructions on this page to build the Open Ephys GUI.
Important: This plugin is intended for use with the latest version of the GUI (0.6.0 and higher). The GUI should be compiled from the main
branch, rather than the former master
branch.
Then, clone this repository into a directory at the same level as the plugin-GUI
, e.g.:
Code
├── plugin-GUI
│ ├── Build
│ ├── Source
│ └── ...
├── OEPlugins
│ └── online-psth
│ ├── Build
│ ├── Source
│ └── ...
Windows
Requirements: Visual Studio and CMake
From the Build
directory, enter:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ..
Next, launch Visual Studio and open the OE_PLUGIN_online-psth.sln
file that was just created. Select the appropriate configuration (Debug/Release) and build the solution.
Selecting the INSTALL
project and manually building it will copy the .dll
and any other required files into the GUI's plugins
directory. The next time you launch the GUI from Visual Studio, the Online PSTH plugin should be available.
Linux
Requirements: CMake
From the Build
directory, enter:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
cd Debug
make -j
make install
This will build the plugin and copy the .so
file into the GUI's plugins
directory. The next time you launch the compiled version of the GUI, the Online PSTH plugin should be available.
macOS
From the Build
directory, enter:
cmake -G "Xcode" ..
Next, launch Xcode and open the online-psth.xcodeproj
file that now lives in the “Build” directory.
Running the ALL_BUILD
scheme will compile the plugin; running the INSTALL
scheme will install the .bundle
file to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/open-ephys/plugins-api
. the Online PSTH plugin should be available the next time you launch the GUI from Xcode.
