R2023a

Installation Changes

Help Center: Reduce installation footprint by not installing the documentation

Starting in R2023a, the documentation will not be installed as part of a product installation. This change significantly reduces the installation footprint of products. In most cases, not installing the documentation has no effect on the displayed documentation, as the Help Center displays the web documentation by default.

If you run MATLAB^® on a system with no internet connection (permanently offline), or if you plan to occasionally work offline on an otherwise internet-connected machine, you can install the documentation on your computer after installing products. For more information, see Install Documentation.

Offline Updates: Command to install offline updates has changed

Starting in R2023a, the command to install MATLAB updates on an offline machine has changed. Previously, after downloading a MATLAB update package and copying it to an offline machine, you ran the update installer from your MATLAB installation, specifying the path to the update package with the updatepackage option. Now, you run the update installer from the update package, specifying the path to the MATLAB installation folder with the destination option. To install offline updates, follow the steps for your release.

Since R2023a

1. From the operating system command line, navigate to this folder:

   cd updatePackageFolder\bin\arch
   

   • updatePackageFolder is the full path to the folder where you unzipped the update package.

   • arch is the architecture folder for your operating system, such as win64, glnxa64, or maci64.

2. Run the update installer with the destination option. Specify the full path to the folder where MATLAB is installed on the offline computer, matlabInstallFolder.

   • Windows^®: MathWorksUpdateInstaller.exe --destination matlabInstallFolder

   • Linux^®: ./MathWorksUpdateInstaller.sh --destination matlabInstallFolder

   • macOS: ./MathWorksUpdateInstaller --destination matlabInstallFolder

Before R2023a

1. From the operating system command line, navigate to this folder:

   cd  matlabInstallFolder/bin/arch
   

   • matlabInstallFolder is the full path to the folder where MATLAB is installed on the offline computer.

   • arch is the architecture folder for your operating system, such as win64, glnxa64, or maci64.

2. Run the update installer with the updatepackage option. Specify the full path to the folder where you unzipped the update package, updatePackageFolder.

   • Windows: update_installer.exe -updatepackage updatePackageFolder

   • Linux: ./update_installer.sh -updatepackage updatePackageFolder

   • macOS: ./update_installer -updatepackage updatePackageFolder

For additional details on installing offline updates, see Update MathWorks Software on Offline Computer.
