Linux laptop setup
step 1
Reason why we had to go with Linux
- developers of psychtoolbox recommend linux
- timing issue with windows (lag icon)
- added more than two minutes of a lag for a task
- ease of containerization
step 2
Installing PTB on linux
move elsewhere
check installation
- neurodebian
- neurodocker
- anaconda
- singularity
worked for Luke http://neuro.debian.net/install_pkg.html?p=psychtoolbox-3-common
Yarik suggestion You need to add contrib (probably no need for non-free) portion in addition to main in your NeuroDebian apt file.

adding EOL to matlab path without having to add it everytime
- check
sudo vim /etc/ptb3/matlab.sh - added a matlab path: EOL MASTER = /home/spacetop/repos/EOL-master in the shell script add the line
export MATLABPATH=$(find "$EOL_MASTER" -type d | grep -v private | tr '\n' ':')$MATLABPATH
firewall
- allow incoming input from medoc PC
- use iptable
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.0.114 --dport 20121 -j ACCEPT- https://serverfault.com/questions/183461/how-do-i-allow-outgoing-connections-via-iptables
manually changing IP on linux
- follow this page to change the ip. link
- make sure to change the name of this ethernet setting: Wired > identity > name : spacetop.dartmouth.edu

- ping the medoc PC from the spacetop stim PC
- if it doesn’t work, there are two things that need to happen
