To start the MATLAB® program on Apple® Macintosh® platforms, double-click the icon for MATLAB on the Macintosh desktop. If there isn't an icon for MATLAB on the desktop, you can find the MATLAB 7.6 icon in the folder where MATLAB was installed, which by default, is Applications/MATLAB R2008a.
You can specify the current directory upon startup as well as other options—for more information, see Startup Directory for the MATLAB® Program and Startup Options.
If MATLAB fails to start due to a problem with required system components such as X11 or Sun Microsystems™ Java™ software, diagnostics run automatically and advise you of the problem, as well as suggest actions to correct it. You can manually run the diagnostics using the Start MATLAB Settings dialog box—for more information, see Specifying Startup Options for Macintosh® Platforms.
After starting MATLAB, the desktop opens. Desktop components that were open when you last shut down MATLAB will be opened on startup. For more information, see Desktop. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set or is invalid, the desktop will not display.
On Macintosh platforms, if you run MATLAB remotely, for example using rlogin, you must run with nodisplay, noawt, and nojvm startup options—for more information, see Startup Options.
Use the Start MATLAB Settings dialog box to specify startup options and then start MATLAB using those options. For more information, see Specifying Startup Options for Macintosh® Platforms.
You can start MATLAB on Macintosh platforms the way you would start it on UNIX® platforms—see Starting the MATLAB® Program on UNIX® Platforms.
