It is recommended to clone and follow the build guide of the parent project [VA](https://git.rwth-aachen.de/ita/VA), which includes this project as a submodule.
Generate VA with the Matlab binding flag activated. It will generate the Matlab executable. You will then have to generate the itaVA Matlab facade class, see below.

#### itaVA class
To ease usage, a facade class called `itaVA` can be generated that will also add volatile help on the available functionality of VA.
To create this Matlab class, run `itaVA_build.m`, which will create a class file `itaVA.m` based on stubs that are filled by calls to the VAMatlab executable, which has to be build prior.
To create this Matlab class, run either `itaVA_build.m` after deploy of VA, or `itaVA_build_absolute.m` from the repository directory.
Both scripts will create a class file named `itaVA.m` based on stubs that are filled by calls to the VAMatlab executable, which has to be build prior.
> Make sure that Matlab will use the correct VA Matlab executable and not an older version of it which might have been added to the PATH of Matlab.
#### Deploy
If the deploy script is not used, manual deploy will include the following:
Deploying the Matlab executable will require to copy all necessary DLLs into a deploy directory (next to the VAMatlab executable file).
