Installing a external toolbox to a matlab path.

Currently I am trying to intsall an externally developed tool box into my matlab for specialized procession. The toolbox, called osprey (located here: https://schorschinho.github.io/osprey/getting-started.html) states to install the program to download the directory found on their github and add it to the "matlab path." Once that is done, the command "Osprey" supposedly should start the gui. I'm not completely sure what is meant by "path" I added the program to the typical search path and wasn't able to get the command to work. I also tried putting the directory in other folder locations in the program files. Does anyone have any clarity on how to get such a program to work, or the specific loaction that the files should be added to work?

"Path" means the list of folders stored in the function path. See: path .

Create a folder onyour disk and use either pathtool to add this folder to the path (on the bottom!) or do it programmatically:

addpath('C:\The\Folder', '-end')
savepath
