# Using SPM with MATLAB Common Runtime

In order to use the standalone MCR version of spm, you need to ensure that the following commands are executed at the beginning of your script:

    from nipype import spm
    matlab_cmd = '/path/to/run_spm8.sh /path/to/Compiler_Runtime/v713/ script'
    spm.SPMCommand.set_mlab_paths(matlab_cmd=matlab_cmd, use_mcr=True)

you can test by calling:

    spm.SPMCommand().version
