Step 1: Start the Installer

1. Download the installer from the MathWorks^® website or locate your MATLAB DVDs.

When you select an installer on the website, you receive the files that the installer needs in order to run on your selected platform, not the product files. Run the installer to select products that you want to install on the computer where you are logged in. The installer downloads the products that it needs from MathWorks, if necessary.

2. Start the installer. The method you use to start the installer depends on your platform and whether you download the installer from the MathWorks website or use DVDs.

· Windows

o Downloaded installer file — If you click Run when you select the installer on the MathWorks website, the installer starts automatically. If you saved the installer instead, double-click the self-extracting installer file in the folder where you saved it. The name of the self-extracting installer file is matlab_release_$ARCH, where release is the release you are installing (for example R2016b) and $ARCH is the selected architecture.

The installer should start automatically after file extraction is complete.

To restart the installer later, click setup.exe. This file is located in the top level of the folder where you extracted the files.

o DVD installation — Insert DVD 1 into the DVD drive connected to your system. The installer usually starts automatically. Insert DVD 2 when the installer prompts you for the second disc.

· Mac OS X

o Downloaded installer file— Double-click the archive file to extract the files that you downloaded from the MathWorks website. After extracting the file, double-click the .dmg file to open the installer folder. Double-click InstallForMacOSX.app.

o DVD installation — Insert DVD 1 into the DVD drive connected to your system. When the DVD icon appears on the desktop, double-click the icon to display the DVD contents, and then double-click the InstallForMacOSX icon to begin the installation.

Insert DVD 2 when the installer prompts you for the second disc.

· Linux

o Downloaded installer file — Use the unzip command to extract the files from the archive file that you downloaded from the MathWorks website. After extracting the files, execute the installer command:

DVD installation — Insert DVD 1 into the DVD drive connected to your system and execute this command:

Note: Do not run the installation from inside the DVD root. Start the installation from a directory outside the DVD root.

Depending on how your system is configured, you might have to mount the DVD first. Make sure that you mount it with execute permissions, as in the following example. The name of the DVD drive might be different on your system.

Insert DVD 2 when the installer prompts you for the second disc.
