R2024a

Installation Changes

MATLAB Package Manager: Install MathWorks products and support packages from operating system command line

Use MATLAB Package Manager ( mpm ) to install MATLAB, Simulink, and other MathWorks products or support packages from the operating system command line. mpm manages all dependencies, installing all required products and omitting products already installed. By running mpm from a script, you can automate the installation of products on multiple computers. If you run mpm from the MATLAB Dockerfile, you can build a customized MATLAB Docker® container.

For the full list of features that mpm supports, see MATLAB Package Manager on GitHub®.

Changes to MATLAB uninstallation on Windows

On Windows, the application used to uninstall MATLAB has changed. Below is the default location of the application by release, where R20XXy is the MATLAB release version.

  • Before R2024a — C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R20XXy\uninstall\bin\win64\uninstall.exe

  • Since R2024a — C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R20XXy\bin\win64\MathWorksProductUninstaller.exe

Run the uninstaller from this location if the uninstaller fails when you run it from the list of installed apps in Windows, or if the MATLAB release you want to uninstall is not in this list.

The process for silently uninstalling MATLAB from Windows, without opening the uninstaller UI, has also changed. In R2024a and later, uninstalling a selection of products from MATLAB by using the uninstaller properties file is not supported. The properties file continues to work for silently uninstalling MATLAB R2023b and earlier.

To silently uninstall all products from MATLAB R2024a or later, run the uninstaller from the command line with the mode option set to silent. For example:

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2024a\bin\win64\MathWorksProductUninstaller.exe" --mode silent

For more details on uninstalling MATLAB, see Uninstall MATLAB.

Licensing Changes

Changes to MATLAB license deactivation on Windows and Linux

On Windows and Linux, the application used to deactivate MATLAB licenses has changed. Below is the default location of the application by platform and release, where R20XXy is the MATLAB release version.

Windows default location:

  • Before R2024a — C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R20XXy\uninstall\bin\win64\deactivate_matlab.exe

  • Since R2024a — C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R20XXy\bin\win64\MathWorksLicenseDeactivation.exe

Linux default location:

  • Before R2024a — /usr/local/MATLAB/R20XXy/bin/deactivate_matlab.sh

  • Since R2024a — /usr/local/MATLAB/R20XXy/bin/glnxa64/MathWorksLicenseDeactivation

The macOS default location for all releases is still /Applications/MATLAB_R20XXy.app/Deactivate.app.

Run the application when you want to deactivate MATLAB licenses from computers that no longer have MATLAB installed.

For more details on deactivating MATLAB licenses, see Deactivate MATLAB License.

Product Changes

Deep Learning Toolbox app moved to MATLAB

As of R2023b, the Experiment Manager app has moved from Deep Learning Toolbox™ into MATLAB.

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.
