VLFEATROOT​\toolbox\v​l_setup not found

Hello!

I just downloaded VLFeat binary and source packages from here : http://www.vlfeat.org/download/ and I am trying to install it on matab so first I wrote

>>tar 0920 vlfeat-0.9.20.tar.gz

then when I am writing :

>> VLFEATROOT = 'C:/Users/User/Desktop/vlfeat-0.9.20.tar/vlfeat-0.9.20';
>> run('VLFEATROOT/toolbox/vl_setup')

This error is shown :

Error using run (line 39)
VLFEATROOT\toolbox\vl_setup not found.

Please can you help me.. I tried a lot! :(

Hello Angel,

follow given steps to use VLFEAT (These steps are for MATLAB).

1. first extract vlfeat-0.9.20 in some folder
2. In matlab first go to HOME->Environment->Set path->(Add the path of vlfeat-0.9.20 extracted folder) and save it.
3. execute run('<Please include path of vlfeat-0.9.20 folder') in MATLAB command window e.g. run('D:\CAL\VLeaft\vlfeat-0.9.20\toolbox\vl_setup')
4. Now u can run commands of VLFEAT library

Hope It will help you.

After performing all the steps mentioned above I am still not able to use vlfeat.

When I am executing

run('vl_setup')

nothing is prompting and when I am running

vl_version verbose

Invalid mex file'mycurrentpath\toolbox\mex\mex64\vl_version.mexw64':The specified module could not be found is prompting as error

@Sarita chhikara

You need to build the binaries.

I am not sure how to do that on Windows. On Mac, I cd to the vlfeat_vlfeat directory and command

!make
