To install new toolboxes, you can either:
- Rerun the MathWorks Installer to add any additional products not currently included in your installation. You do not need to reinstall MATLAB if you select the same installation folder.
- Use the Add-On Explorer in MATLAB, if your license permits usage of it.
- Run the MATLAB Package Manager to install toolboxes programmatically from your operating system's terminal.

Additional notes for using the MATLAB Installer:
Before running the MathWorks installer to install an additional toolbox, please keep in mind:
- You may need administrative or root privileges to install additional toolboxes.
- Toolboxes must match the release of MATLAB they are installed into, e.g. you cannot install a toolbox for MATLAB R2022b into MATLAB R2023a.
- If installing the toolboxes offline, the installation files must match the update version of MATLAB, e.g. R2022a Update 2 Installation Files can not be used to install a toolbox to R2022a Update 3 MATLAB.
- ISOs are update-specific, meaning the ISO for R2022a Update 2 will not install products to an installation of R2022a Update 3.
- MATLAB must be closed in order to run the installer.
- The MathWorks installer will install new toolboxes in the default MATLAB installation folder. If you installed MATLAB somewhere other than the default folder, you will need to select the folder where MATLAB is installed when prompted for the MATLAB installation location.
- During installation, you may be prompted to overwrite any existing products. If prompted, opt to skip installation of any existing products.
- For R2019b and older, the activation process will begin after installation. You need to activate your products in order to use them.
- If the computer is not connected to the internet and you are using a File Installation Key to install the toolboxes, you will need to obtain an updated File Installation Key, License File, and the installation files. See the following article for more information: How can I install MATLAB or other MathWorks products on an offline machine?
- It may be necessary to reset your path file definitions and/or toolbox cache for MATLAB to recognize your newly installed toolboxes.
