The installation method described in this section should only be performed on the system on which the software is going to be installed and the package should be deleted from the installation location and the pacman cache following installation. The EULA for the proprietary MATLAB software is restrictive and it prohibits distribution and modification of the installation files. You can obtain the actual MATLAB software using the installer from the MathWorks website. It can be problematic to build the package using AUR helpers, so you are expected to do so manually. Note however, that the package does not contain the installation files, and you are expected to place them in the cloned package folder yourself. The matlab AUR package is designed to allow MATLAB to be integrated into and managed by Arch. One might want to use the system's libstdc++. If one need to set environment variable, one could prepend env in Exec, for example, to system's libfreetype:Įxec=env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 matlab usr/share/applications/sktop Įxec=/usr/local/MATLAB/ R2019a/bin/matlab -desktop To find it out start MATLAB, run xprop | grep WM_CLASS and select the MATLAB window.Įxample desktop entry (replace R2019a with your MATLAB version): In order for icons to appear correctly StartupWMClass needs to be set in the desktop entry.
#Matlab return install
Or you could add MATLAB install path to PATH environment variable. If you did not choose to do so, you can now manually create a symlink in /usr/local/bin to make it easier to launch in terminal: You can run the script as root to install MATLAB system-wide or your user to install it only for you.ĭuring the installation, you are asked if you want symlinks to be created. The installation is handled by the install script. Wayland is not currently supported yet, at least not for the GUI however, plotting seems to work. To install with the GUI a working Xorg graphical display is necessary. The MATLAB installation software is self contained and does not require any additional packages to install in silent mode. Installing from the MATLAB installation software The advantage of the matlab AUR package is that it manages dependencies and some of the nuances of the installation process while installing directly from the MATLAB installation software can be done by regular users to their home directories. It is possible to install MATLAB either with the matlab AUR package or from the MATLAB installation software directly. In addition to the software a file installation key is required for installation. The MATLAB software is available to licenses holders on both a DVD and through the The MathWorks website. Release names are composed of R, the year of the release and a or b.Ī complete copy of the MATLAB software must be obtained before it can be installed. New versions of MATLAB are released twice a year,
