installer_input.txt

To comply with new security restrictions in macOS Sierra and newer, the installer_input.txt and the silent installer executable is no longer packaged with the MathWorks Product Installer.. The installer_input.txt file is attached to this article for reference.

To obtain the executable that can be used for silent installation as well as the installer_input.txt file, download the normal installer and then select to "download without installing" from the Advanced Options after signing into your MathWorks account. This will download a version of the installer that can be used for silent installation.
