Initialization error in initPmtk3 : Matlab R2016A and Mac OS X Yosemite

[srikumar9]

Hi, I am facing the following error while installation. I am using R2016A. Please help

initPmtk3
initializing pmtk3
Error using urlreadwrite (line 92)
The server did not find a resource to match this request.
Error in urlread (line 36)
[s,status] = urlreadwrite(mfilename,catchErrors,url,varargin{:});
Error in scrapePmtkSupport (line 14)
raw = tokenize(urlread(url), '\n');
Error in downloadAllSupport (line 12)
packages = scrapePmtkSupport([], exclude);
Error in initPmtk3 (line 52)
downloadAllSupport(fullfile(pmtk3Root(), 'pmtksupportCopy'), false);

This bug also happens on windows and linux, and Matlab 2015. I believe it is caused by http://pmtksupport.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ not being available anymore.

How should I work around this ?

I guess you could download the repository as a tarball and make the download script copy the files from a local folder.

@srikumar9 Clone this repo into your hdd. Write the path down, you'll use it right after. Go to <path_to>/pmtk3/config.txt and locate the line with the entry

% PMTKlocalSupportPath     path/to/support

Change path/to/support with that path you wrote down before, i.e. <path_to>/pmtksupport.

Now initPmtk3 should run with no problems.
