<h2>Installation</h2>
<ul><li>Unzipping ddebiftool.zip creates a "dde_biftool" directory (named "dde_biftool") containing the subfolders:
<ul>
<li><a href="ddebiftool/index.html">ddebiftool</a> (basic DDE-BIFTOOL routines),</li>
<li><a href="demos/index.html">demos</a> (example scripts illustrating the use of DDE-BIFTOOL),</li>
<li><a href="ddebiftool_extra_psol/html/index.html">ddebiftool_extra_psol</a> (extension for local bifurcations of periodic orbits),</li>
<li><a href="ddebiftool_extra_nmfm/index.html">ddebiftool_extra_nmfm</a> (extension for normal form coefficient computations at local bifurcations of equilibria in DDEs with constant delay),</li>
<li><a href="ddebiftool_utilities/html/index.html">ddebiftool_utilities</a> (auxiliary functions),</li>
<li><a href="ddebiftool_extra_rotsym/html/index.html">ddebiftool_extra_rotsym</a> (extension for systems with rotational symmetry).</li>
<li><a href="external_tools/Readme.html">external_tools</a> (support scripts, such as a Mathematica and a Maple script for generating derivative functions used in DDE-BIFTOOL).</li>
</ul></li>
<li>To test the tutorial demo "<a href="demos/neuron/html/demo1.html">neuron</a>" (the instructions below assume familiarity with Matlab or octave):</li>
<ul>
<LI>Start Matlab (version 7.0 or higher) or octave (tested with version 3.8.1)</LI>
<li>Inside Matlab or octave change working directory to demos/neuron using the "cd" command</li>
<li>Execute script "rundemo" to perform all steps of the tutorial demo</li>
<li>Compare the outputs on screen and in figure windows with the published output in <a href="demos/neuron/html/demo1.html">demos/neuron/html/demo1.html</a>.</li>
</ul>
