Client installation package for Mathlab

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to create a "universal" installation package for Matlab.

Our users will not have local admin and due to security policies the software is installed by packages.

However im under the impression that there is no generic software install and that all specific features require a specific installation procedure.

Can you tell me if there is a way to achieve this? Or is it an option to use the webbased version somehow?

Any help is welcome.

Regards,

I think it would be somewhat tricky to develop a single package that is able to install to Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Hi,

I understand that you're looking to install MATLAB using a common installation package across different systems. However, MATLAB does not offer a "universal" installation package. As a workaround, you can create a bash script to detect the operating system and then automate the installation process accordingly. This script can be easily executed on Linux and macOS systems. For Windows, the system will need to have WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) pre-installed.

Steps for installation can be found on this link. You need to automate these steps within the script:

Alternatively, you can use MATLAB Online directly in your browser, which eliminates the need for local installation.
