Running matlab from the command line.

I'm trying to run matlab from the mac OS X terminal (I'm running OS X Yosemite). From what I gathered, typing "matlab -nodesktop" should do the trick. However, upon doing that I get the following:

-bash: matlab: command not found

What can I do to fix this?

For example:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab -nodesktop -nojvm

Adjust the R2014a according to the release you are using.

Note: if you happen to have used the options on the dock to assign MATLAB to a desktop, then OS-X will switch to that desktop even though you are not using graphics.

If you do not use the -nojvm flag then you will get the splash screen coming up even though you are not using the desktop.

That worked. Thanks!
