## irisstartup

Start an IRIS session

#### Syntax

    irisstartup
    irisstartup -shutup

#### Description

We recommend that you keep the IRIS root directory on the permanent Matlab search path. Each time you wish to start working with IRIS, you run `irisstartup` form the command line. At the end of the session, you can run `irisfinish` to remove IRIS subfolders from the temporary Matlab search path, and to clear persistent variables in some of the backend functions.

The `irisstartup` performs the following steps:

- Adds necessary IRIS subdirectories to the temporary Matlab search path.

- Removes redundant IRIS folders (e.g. other or older installations) from the Matlab search path.

- Resets IRIS configuration options to default, updates the location of TeX/LaTeX executables, and calls `irisuserconfig` to modify the configuration option.

- Associates the default IRIS extensions with the Matlab Editor. If they had not been associated before, Matlab must be re-started for the association to take effect.

- Prints an introductory message on the screen unless `irisstartup` is called with the `-shutup` input argument.
