Matlab
Matlab is installed on s15 and on wombat. Fairly recent sources to install matlab on your desktop computer are usually located under s15.fluid.tuwien.ac.at/home/E322/Software/Matlab.
Installation under Linux / MacOS
Matlab can be installed by mounting the folder /home/E322/Software/Matlab/Linux/v?.?_rel20??? to the local machine. Alternatively, copy the entire Direct_Install folder or the archive lux.tar to your local machine.
Two informations are necessary for installation,
the File Installation Key, which is given in the file Read_TU.txt (it consists entirely of only ascii-characters), and
the path to the network license file network.lic, e.g., /home/E322/Software/Matlab/Linux/v9.12_REL2022a/network.lic.
Navigate to the Direct_Install folder and, if a graphical user interface is available, execute ./install.
You will be asked for your choices. Usually, the matlab files will be installed below /usr/share/MATLAB/R20??/. At the end of the installation, the symbolic links deploytool matlab mbuild mcc and mex will be created in /usr/local/bin. The symbolic link mcc may belong to matlab or to mathematica. By default, all toolboxes and the entire Simulink program is installed. To save space, unselect unneeded components.
If a graphical user interface is not available, copy the file Direct_Install/installer_input.txt to a location of your choice and edit it appropriately. An example is given on s15 in /usr/local/share/MATLAB/R2022a/installer_input.txt. Symbolic links to the binaries in /usr/local/share/MATLAB/R20??/bin/ must be created manually.
Walktrough
# mount the Direct_Install folder sudo mkdir /mnt/s15 sudo mount.davfs "https://s15.fluid.tuwien.ac.at/E322/Software/Matlab/Linux/v9.12_REL2022a" /mnt/s15 # create an installer file cp /mnt/s15/Direct_Install/installer_input.txt /usr/local/share/MATLAB/ # edit the installer file to set the installation location, file installation key, # path to the license file, and commenting out the products you do not need vim /usr/local/share/MATLAB/installer_input.txt # install sudo /mnt/s15/Direct_Install/install -inputfile /usr/local/share/MATLAB/installer_input.txt # clean up. rm -r /tmp/mathworks_* umount /mnt/s15 sudo rmdir /mnt/s15
Deinstallation
Remove the installation directory, e.g, /usr/local/share/MATLAB/R20?? and the symbolic links deploytool matlab mbuild mcc and mex in /usr/local/bin.
