Installing Matlab

stubs

Installing MATLAB manually

The installation procedure is very similar for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. All information needed can be found under Matlab Downloads & Licenses. The folder is only accessible with a DESY username and password.

Please note: IF you are a member of the Max-Planck Institutes or the University of Hamburg you must choose the proper license server!

Installing MATLAB on Linux

If MATLAB is not installed on a Linux-host, you can install MATLAB via standard package tools. MATLAB comes in two variants, either as a full, local installation or by just creating links to AFS-hosted installations. To install the AFS-version:

[me@rhel ~]$ sudo yum install matlab.R2022a-alias matlab.R2022a-afs                   # RedHat EL based systems
[me@rhel ~]$ sudo yum install matlab.R2022a-alias matlab.R2022a                       # For local installations if repos are configured accordingly
[me@ubun ~]$ sudo apt-get install matlab.r2022a-afsu  matlab.r2022a-aliasu dl-optafs  # Ubuntu Debian

If repositories are not configured, packages can also be found in afs:

[me@ubun ~]$ cd /afs/desy.de/packages/RPMS/System/Ubuntu/22/x86_64/afsware/
[me@ubun ~]$ sudo dpkgi -i  matlab.r2022a-afsu_2022a-2_all.deb matlab.r2022a-aliasu_2022a-2_all.deb dl-optafs_1.0-2_amd64.deb 

Installing MATLAB on Windows

Provided your PC is a member of the DESY windows domain, use the Netinstall Installer & Uninstaller, MATLAB can be found under "Scientific Software". Be aware that the MATLAB installation can easily take 30 minutes or more. So even if the installation shows nothing than a blue screen and no progress-bar, let the installation continue until it's really done. You can still use your PC during the installation, just swap the application in focus with "CTRL-ALT-TAB".

If the PC is not part of the windows domain, please refer to the manual installation.
