Matlab

Basic Information

MATLAB^®^ is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or Java^™^.You can use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and computational biology.

FAQ

Software Licensing

Tufts network concurrent license is comprised of approximately 25 or so popular Mathworks Toolboxes. Matlab may be installed on Tufts owned machines such as lab computers and faculty hardware. As a network license, the installed machine must be on Tufts' network for authentication. If you or your lab wishes to use this license on local hardware, please contact your local FSP/IT support person. The following Toolboxes are currently part of the license (information provided for all cluster software)

Package information

Package is available in Landesk .............
Packaging information is available in the "silent installation" section below.

Both network.lic and installer_input.txt files are needed for the Landesk package.

Network.lic - has information on where are the licensing servers and which port they are using

installer_input.txt - has information for the installation settings - it can be edited to suit certain changes

Unattended command line installation

Example:

@echo off

:: Unzip the installer
7za.exe x MATLAB_R2012b.zip -y -oC:\Windows\temp\MATLAB_R2012b

:: Copy license file to work directory

mkdir "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012b"
copy /y network.lic "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012b"

:: Copy installer setup file to temp directory
copy /y installer_input.txt "C:\Windows\temp\MATLAB_R2012b"

:: Install Matlab
cd /d "C:\Windows\temp\MATLAB_R2012b"
start /wait setup.exe -inputFile C:\Windows\temp\MATLAB_R2012b\installer_input.txt
