If you already have an ISO or DMG archive containing MathWorks products, you can mount that archive directly to a computer, as if it were a disk drive, and then install the products using the interactive installer included in the archive. Follow the instructions for your operating system.
Windows
To mount an ISO archive on Windows:
- Double-click the downloaded ISO archive to mount it to a drive. The ISO archive appears under This PC, as if it were a physical disk.
- Windows 7 and older do not natively support mounting an ISO archive. As an alternative, you can extract the ISO files to your computer using a third-party tool, such as 7Zip.
- To install products, double-click the setup.exe file included in the mounted archive and follow the installer prompts.
Alternatives:
- Instead of mounting the archive, you can right-click the archive to burn the disc image to a DVD.
- If you are installing a multi-DVD release (R2016a to R2018b), dismount the first disk, and then mount the second disk to the first disk’s mounted location. For example, if you mounted disk 1 to the D: drive, eject disk 1 and double-click disk 2 to also mount it to the D: drive. Alternatively, you can merge the ISOs, as described in this support article.
macOS
To mount a DMG archive on macOS:
- Double-click the downloaded DMG archive to mount it to a drive, as if it were a physical disk.
- To install products, double-click the InstallForMacOS<OSName>.app file included in the mounted archive and follow the installer prompts.
Alternatives:
- Instead of mounting the archive, you can use Disk Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities) to burn the archive to a DVD.
Linux
To mount an ISO archive on most Red Hat and Debian distributions:
- Create a folder to use as a mount point.
- Mount the downloaded ISO archive to that folder. For example, this command mounts an ISO located in the Downloads subfolder of a user’s home folder.
mount -t iso9660 -o loop ~/Downloads/R20XXy_Update_N_Linux.iso /media/mathworks
- Navigate to the mount point:
- To install products, run the install script included in the mount point and follow the installer prompts.
