+IMPORTANT:
+If you are running Matlab on MAC OSX or Linux, you must start Matlab with the jvm enabled.
 Not doing so, will prevent you being able to unzip the downloaded toolboxes.
 
 To install the toolbox run the command "SMALLboxsetup" from the MATLAB command prompt.
 
-Once installed, there are two optional demo functions that can be run,
