MATLAB Installation Guide (Standalone Version)


General Information

  • The following documents outline the installation instructions for MATLAB R2017b and up for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux
  • The software installation files are found on the UBC IT SLMS Server
  • If you wish to install additional toolboxes in an existing installation of MATLAB , follow the same procedures as for a new installation
    • Currently installed packages will already show as installed - just select the additional toolboxes as needed
    • If you receive a prompt asking if you wish to overwrite an existing product, select No

Step-By-Step

  1. Copy the appropriate installer file from \\teamshare.ead.ubc.ca\team\slms\desktop apps\mathworks\<<VERSION>>\<<OS type>> to a temporary directory on your computer
    • Linux 64bit – copy the matlab_<<VERSION>>_glnxa64-standalone install.zip file
    • Mac OS X – copy the matlab_<<VERSION>>_maci64-standalone install.zip file
    • Windows – copy the matlab_<<VERSION>>_winXX-standalone install.exe file
  2. Unpack the installer into a new directory
  3. Run the executable installer from the new folder
    • Linux 64bit installer file = install
    • Mac OS X installer file = InstallForMacOSX
    • Windows installer file = setup.exe
  4. Select Log in with a MathWorks Account
  5. Click Next
     
  6. Review the software license agreement
  7. If you agree with the terms, select Yes
  8. Click Next
     
  9. You will be prompted to log in:
