The latest Matlab versions 2014b and 2015a present some issues
due the new graphics environment. We currently cannot guarantee
full compatability. We reccomend using 2014a if you have access
to it.
For Command line use we recommend using version 1 stable.
A sample script can be found in the main folder.

In order to select a previous version of MATLAB installed on your machine,
change the following line in the launcher (linux/mac):
from
last_installation=${installation_directories[$tLen-1]}
to
last_installation=${installation_directories[$tLen-2]}
