How to run libsvm on matlab on ubuntu?

Hi,

I have tried to install libsvm (weights for data instances) from the offered zip file. I used make zith g++ compiler, which resulted in the following binaries, svm-train, svm-predict, svm-scale (not the .mexglx format as I expected), my question is how to use those files (same for liblinear) in my matlab script (.m file). I am runing matlab on Ubuntu 18.04. Matlab version, 2019b

Libsvm is not really well-documented...

Thanks for your help

Hello! I had the same question.

What I did was the following:

As current folder in Matlab, I selected the /libsvm-x.x/matlab and then I just typed in the command window “make”.

It gives a warning about the gcc version, but the mex compilation was successful.

Good luck!
