MES Model & Refactor® (MES MoRe) - Installation instructions
System Requirements
The following system requirements must be in place to use MES MoRe:
- Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7+8+10 - 32 and 64-bit versions)
- MATLAB® R2012b ... R2019b
- Simulink
Update from an older version
- If you added a call to init_MoRe to your startup.m and used a folder with version postfix (e.g. x:\project\matlab\MES_MoRe_1_3), then please update the call to the folder of the new installation (e.g.
run('C:\Program Files\MES_MoRe_2_0\MoRe\init_MoRe');
- If you installed the old version to a folder with version postfix (e.g. x:\project\matlab\MES_MoRe_1_3), you can keep that directory as a backup.
- If you installed without version postfix, you could rename the old installation directory to one with version postfix as a backup.
- Then proceed according to the installation instructions given below (including license configuration).
Installation
-
Extract the MES MoRe zip file (e.g. MES_MoRe_2_0.zip) into a target folder with write access. Suggestions:
- C:\Program Files\MES_MoRe
- %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\MES_MoRe_2_0
- %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\MES_MoRe
- x:\project\matlab\MES_MoRe_2_0
Please keep all the subdirectories.
-
If you extracted the zip file to the MATLAB toolbox folder (%MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox), then call
rehash toolboxcache
once in the MATLAB command line.
-
For permament installation (recommended):
-
Add a call to the MoRe\init_MoRe.m script from the target folder to your MATLAB startup.m file. Example call:
run('C:\Program Files\MES_MoRe\MoRe\init_MoRe');
Please make sure that there is no call to init_MoRe of an old installation left!
If you are not sure whether you have any startup.m file yet, type which startup.m
in MATLAB command line.
If result is not empty, add the call from above to this file.
If result is empty, create a new startup.m file in your userpath. Type userpath
in MATLAB command line to get your userpath. Add the call from above to the newly created file (type also doc startup
in MATLAB command line for help).
-
Restart MATLAB. There should be an MES MoRe menu entry in Simulink now.
-
For temporary usage (not recommended):
-
Call init_MoRe from the MoRe subfolder of the target folder in the MATLAB command line. This might throw warnings like 'Objects of XXX class exist - not clearing java', if other tools are holding locked references to java objects. In that case, please follow the instructions for permanent installation above.
-
(optional) Some actions from the 'Analyze' submenu require Graphviz to be installed:
-
Download and install Graphviz from http://www.graphviz.org/
-
Add the folder containing the dot.exe of Graphviz to the PATH environment variable of Windows (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz 2.28\bin).
License configuration
Evaluation version
Usually no license configuration is necessary here. However, if you have received a separate license file (.lic), please follow the instructions in the 'Node-locked license' section below.
Node-locked license
Copy the license file (.lic) into the 'license' subfolder of your
tool installation. You receive your license file by email from MES or from your admin.
