# Preparation

Before installing the WFDB_tools wrappers, install the WFDB Software Package, and verify that it is working properly on your system. Download the WFDB_tools package and unpack it using a command such as

        tar xfvz WFDB_tools.tar.gz

This creates a directory named `WFDB_tools`, which contains the wrapper source files (`src/*.c`), help files (`help/*.m`), precompiled binary files (`linux/*.mexglx`, for x86 GNU/Linux, and `windows/*.dll`, for MS-Windows), documentation (in `doc/`), and tutorial examples (in `examples/`).

Follow the instructions given in the `00README` file (in the top-level `WFDB_tools` directory) to install the WFDB_tools on your system.

All functions have explanatory m-files available through MATLAB's `help` function. In the case of toolbox installation (described below) a list of all functions is found using `help WFDB_tools`.
