Hello,
im trying to install psychotoolbox on on windows 10 with matlab 2016a. I followed the instruction, but in the end it is showing me:
“Error in DownloadPsychtoolbox (line 707)
svndownload(targetRevision, dflavor, p, downloadmethod);”
Going to line 707 it is showing:
“% Download via Subversion:
svndownload(targetRevision, dflavor, p, downloadmethod);”
Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
Greetings,
Jasper
please post the complete error message
Hello dcnieho,
thanks for your answer. This should be the complete error message:
DownloadPsychtoolbox(‘C:\toolbox’)
DownloadPsychtoolbox(‘C:\toolbox’,‘beta’,‘’, 0)
Requested flavor is: beta
Requested location for the Psychtoolbox folder is inside: C:\toolbox
Using optimal client for subversion checkout.
Good. Your privileges suffice for the requested installation into folder C:\toolbox.
I will now download the latest Psychtoolbox for Windows.
Requested flavor is: beta
Target folder for installation: C:\toolbox
Downloading via Matlabs integrated SVNKit: This can take multiple minutes.
There may be no output to this window to indicate progress until the download is complete.
Please be patient …

Error in DownloadPsychtoolbox (line 707)
svndownload(targetRevision, dflavor, p, downloadmethod);
The error is “org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E175002: connection refused by the server”
try on a different connection if you can, or try to restart the computer/matlab. If none of that works, you may try the offline installation method. You lose in-place updates that way, but have a working PTB install 
Cheers,

Thanks a lot. That was already very helpful! I´m now trying to do the offline installation, scince it is very difficult to get acces to the server from my university. I followed the “setup Psychtoolbox” instructions ( Psychtoolbox-3 - SetupPsychtoolbox ) , but in step 3 trying to set up the psychtoolbox it is saying:
SetupPsychtoolbox (‘C:\toolbox’)
Undefined function or variable ‘SetupPsychtoolbox’.
Do you know what to do here?
Thanks a lot !
Thats not what the instructions say. If you unpacked PTB into C:\toolbox (check that SetupPsychtoolbox.m is directly in that folder), then in matlab, execute:
cd(‘c:\toolbox’)
SetupPsychtoolbox
