Hello everyone! I have been trying to add matlab to my path, but to no avail. This is what my current path looks like:
but when I type in "matlab" or "./matlab", I keep getting the error message "no such file or directory". Is there something else I need to include? Thanks!
EDIT: Once adding matlab to my path, can I run mcc to create makefiles as long as I have the compiler installed?

you might try just '/Applications/MATLAB_R2020a.app/bin' on the path, without the executable name and the flag/options, and then try 'which matlab' to see if it's found.

Okay, that worked, thank you all!

The best way to achieve this is to symlink your binary in /usr/local/bin dir as this is already included in your path. (This comes from the pattern that homebrew uses & is widely accepted practise.)
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/MATLAB_R2023a.app/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin
There by you can invoke MATLAB on terminal with $ matlab
If you want to see your symlinks on usr/local/bin, just do $ ls -la /usr/local/bin
