Vm specs as extractor-0002. Extractor requires matlab 2009a.
In my opinion the easiest way of installing this extractor is copying the files from extractor-0002 located in /home/medici/extractors/matlab/handwritten_numbers_extractor
Conf file for the upstart script can be also found in extractor-0002.
