Installation

Clone (or pull) the latest code for the Remote Data Toolbox with Git:

git clone https://github.com/isetbio/RemoteDataToolbox.git

Add the RemoteDataToolbox folder and sub-folders to your Matlab path.

Test the installation

ISETBIO: If you are an ISETBIO user, try running the the code in the Connecting and Downloading (ISETBIO) sections.

There are 4 example scripts in the RemoteDataToolbox/examples folder.

brainard-archiva/rdtExamplePublishData.m shows how you can create some data locally, upload it to our demo repository, and view the data in your web browser. This example uses image data, so it's easy to view.

brainard-archiva/rdtExampleReadData.m follows the previous. It shows how you can download data from our demo repository -- in this case the image you just created.

brainard-archiva/rdtExampleQueryRepository.m shows how you can use the Remote Data Toolbox to list and query artifacts that live in our demo repository.

maven-central/rdtExampleMavenCentral.m shows that Remote Data Toolbox can access other data repositories, not just our own server. In this case it accesses a repository called "Maven Central" which stores lots of open-source Java stuff.
