The trick here is to use the help, because it teaches you what to use, at least it gives you a hint at how to solve it. If you managed to create a path, then you would have read the help for a tool like addpath, or even pathtool. HAD you read the help for addpath, at the bottom of the help, you would see a see also line. It reads:

See also genpath, path, pathsep, rmpath, savepath

Next, you might look at the names of those functions, and wonder what savepath does. The name is, at least to me, one that indicates its purpose, i.e., it saves your path so that the next time you enter MATLAB the path will be what you created before. It will remember that path as you saved it.

So always remember to look at the see also line. It is there for a very good reason.

help addpath

 addpath - Add folders to search path

    Syntax
      addpath(folderName1,...,folderNameN)
      addpath(folderName1,...,folderNameN,position)

      addpath(___,'-frozen')

      oldpath = addpath(___)

    Input Arguments
      folderName1,...,folderNameN - Folder names to add to search path
        character vectors | string scalars
      position - Position on search path
        '-begin' (default) | '-end'

    Output Arguments
      oldpath - Path prior to addition of folders
        character vector

    Examples
      openExample('matlab/AddFoldertoTopofSearchPathExample')
      openExample('matlab/AddFoldertoEndofSearchPathExample')
      openExample('matlab/AddFolderandItsSubfolderstoSearchPathExample')
      openExample('matlab/AddFoldertoSearchPathandDisableFolderChangeNotificationExample')

      status = savepath(___)

    Input Arguments
      folderName - Folder name
