[Eeglablist] Having problems with initial setup

[Ramón Martinez]

Hi Richard,
We are using GIT instead of SVN. Given this, TortoiseGIT or Sourcetree
would be more adequate for you . Check out this webpage
<http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/How_to_download_EEGLAB> for details on how to
get automatic updates  from the GIT repo.
 Hope this helps,
 Ramon
