General Path Guidelines

Regardless of platform, be aware of the following guidelines with regards to placing specific folders on the path:

• Always avoid including bin or arch on the path. Failure to do so may inhibit ability to run multiple MCR instances.

• Ideally, set the environment in a separate shell script to avoid runtime errors caused by path-related issues.

Path for Java Applications on All Platforms

When your users run applications that contain compiled M-code, you must instruct them to set the path so that the system can find the MCR.

Note   When you deploy a Java application to end users, they must set the class path on the target machine. The system needs to find .jar files containing the MATLAB libraries. To tell the system how to locate the .jar files it needs, specify a classpath either in the javac command or in your system environment variables.

Windows Path for Run-Time Deployment

The following folder should be added to the system path:

mcr_root\version\runtime\win32|win64

where mcr_root refers to the complete path where the MCR library archive files are installed on the machine where the application is to be run.

mcr_root is version specific; you must determine the path after you install the MCR.

Note   If you are running the MCR Installer on a shared folder, be aware that other users of the share may need to alter their system configuration.

UNIX Paths for Run-Time Deployment

Note   For readability, the following commands appear on separate lines, but you must enter each setenv command on one line. The setenv command is specific to the C shell (csh). See Compiling and Linking MAT-File Programs for more information.
