how to install the SPM 12 into Matlab?

I have downloaded spm 12,(files from UCL) but I cant use it in matlab.

I dont know what to do and I have tried several times and no use. Could you please give me instructions on how to use SPM to carry out my analysis

I found the installation instructions on the following SPM Wiki Page:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SPM/Installation_on_Windows#Installation

You will need to follow these steps to get SPM working:

1) Unzip spm12.zip in a folder of your choice, such as C:\Users\login\Documents\MATLAB\spm12).

2) Start MATLAB and add SPM into your path, either using File > Set Path > Add Folder... or typing the following in the MATLAB Command window:

>> addpath C:\Users\login\Documents\MATLAB\spm12

3) Launch SPM by using the command

>> spm

However, please note that the SPM Wiki page has been marked as outdated. You might need to figure out some additional steps to get this working.

When I'm trying to do it on online version, i am getting an error which says, 'unrecognized function or variable spm' even after setting the path. Where did i go wrong?

I am having the same problem, followed the steps on the Wiki exactly yet still coming up as "unrecognizd function" when I type in spm to open it.

If you are on windows and "right-click/Extract All...", then it creates a nested directory which means MATLAB doesn't recognise spm12. For example if you want spm to be in C:/Users/You/Documents/MATLAB, after extracting it you will end up with C:/Users/You/Documents/MATLAB/spm12/spm12/... . If you add the first spm to the path it won't work. You have to cut the spm12 sub-folder out into the parent path so that it looks like this: C:/Users/You/Documents/MATLAB/spm12/... . Or just add the spm12 sub-folder.
