+<p>Setting up MATLAB to work properly with the LTPDA Toolbox requires a few steps:</p>

+<h3 class="title">Add the LTPDA Toolbox to the MATLAB path</h3>
+
+<p>
+  After downloading and un-compressing the LTPDA Toolbox, you should add the
+  directory <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> to your MATLAB path. To do this:
+  <ul>
+    <li> File -> Set Path...  </li>
+    <li> Choose "Add with Subfolders" and browse to the location of <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> </li>
+    <li> "Save" your new path. MATLAB may require you to save your new <tt>pathdef.m</tt> to a 
+      new location in the case that you don't have write access to the default location. For more
+    details read the documentation on "pathdef" (<tt>>> doc pathdef</tt>). </li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
+
+<a name="ltpdastartup" id= "ltpdastartup"></a>
+
+<a name="startup" id= "startup"></a>
+<h3 class="title">Starting LTPDA Toolbox</h3>
+
+<p>
+  To start using the LTPDA Toolbox, execute the following command on the MATLAB terminal:
+  <div class="fragment">
+    <pre>
+    ltpda_startup  </pre>
+  </div>
+  This should launch the LTPDA Launchbay, and you should see the LTPDA logo on the MATLAB terminal.
+  When you run this for the first time, you will also be presented with the LTPDA Preferences GUI from
+  where you can edit the preferences for the toolbox (see below).
+</p>
+<p>
+  If everything has gone well, you should be able to run a set of built-in tests by doing:
+  <div class="fragment">
+    <pre>
+    run_tests
+</pre>
+  </div>
+  This will run about 100 test scripts. These test scripts can be found in <tt>$ltpda_toolbox/examples</tt>
+  and serve as useful example scripts.
+</p>
+<p>
+  In order to automatically start the LTPDA Toolbox
+  when MATLAB starts up, add the command <tt>ltpda_startup</tt> to your own <tt>startup.m</tt>
+  file. See <tt>>> doc startup</tt> for more details on installing and editing your own <tt>startup.m</tt> file.
+</p>
+
+<a name="prefs" id= "prefs"></a>
+<h3 class="title">Edit the LTPDA Preferences</h3>
+
+  <p>
+    The LTPDA Toolbox comes with a default set of starting preferences. These may need
+    to be edited for your particular system (though most of the defaults should be fine). 
+    To edit the preferences, you first need to have the LTPDA toolbox installed as described 
+    above, then run the command
+    <div class="fragment"><pre>
+        LTPDAprefs
+    </pre></div>
+    or click on the "LTPDA Preferences" button on the launchbay. You should see the following GUI:
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    <img src="images/LTPDAprefs.png" alt="LTPDA Preferences GUI" border="0">  </p>
+<p>
+    Edit all the preferences you want and then click apply to save the preferences. These new preferences
+    will be used each time you start LTPDA.
