Problem to download/install Psychtoolbox on Matlab (Ubuntu)

I can't install properly Psychtoolbox on Matlab. When I use the DownloadPsychtoolbox, I get this message error

Error: File: DownloadPsychtoolbox2.m Line: 1 Column: 32 Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.

Here is the code :

function DownloadPsychtoolbox ('/home/fh/Desktop')

I have also tried function DownloadPsychtoolbox (['/home/fh/Desktop']) or whitout the ' nor [, but it does not work... I already have installed the up to date subversion, and have tried to launch it through the terminal with ptb3-matlab, but once Matlab runs, it does not work neither.

The original script is function DownloadPsychtoolbox(targetdirectory, flavor, targetRevision), with the target directory to fill, and if don't, it returns this error message :

You did not provide the full path to the directory where Psychtoolbox should be installed. This is required for Microsoft Windows and Linux installation. Please enter a full path as the first argument to this script, e.g. DownloadPsychtoolbox('C:\Toolboxes\'). Error using DownloadPsychtoolbox (line 419) For Windows and Linux, the call to DownloadPsychtoolbox must specify a full path for the location of installation.'

So I don't know what is wrong with this PTB... Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you are editing the actual DownloadPsychtoolbox function. Instead, you want to call the DownloadPsychtoolbox function from the MATLAB commandline with your desired install path as a parameter, with no space between the function name and the parantheses:

DownloadPsychtoolbox('/home/fh/Desktop')
