===== MATLAB Installation Instructions =====

  * [[win-install]]

===== Mounting an ISO file =====

==== macOS ====

  * Usually ISO/DMG files are opened automatically when you double click them in Finder
  * You can also mount ISO images in Mac OS X by using **Disk Utility**, located in the /Applications/Utilities/ directory. After you launched Disk Utility, navigate from the Disk Utility menu down to "Open Image File" and select your ISO file. The ISO should now appear mounted on the desktop.

=== Command Line ===

<code=text>
cd ~/Desktop
hdiutil mount R2016a_maci64.iso 
or
hdiutil attach R2018a_maci64.dmg
</code>

==== Linux ====


  * Ubuntu’s Unity desktop and GNOME include a **Disk Image Mounter** application that can mount ISO files and similar image files graphically. To use it, right-click an .ISO file or another type of disc image, point to Open With, and select **Disk Image Mounter**.

=== Command Line ===

  * Open a terminal window
  * Create a new directory for your ISO image.

     sudo mkdir /media/iso 

  * Now mount the ISO image

  sudo mount -o loop R2019a_Linux.iso /media/iso

  * To unmount the file, use this command in a terminal window

  sudo umount /media/iso
  rmdir /media/iso

=== Linux / macOS  ===

  - Start the MATLAB Installer
    - Windows
      -  DVD (ISO) installation — Mount DVD on your system. The installer usually starts automatically. 
    - Linux
      - **Note:**   Do not run the installation from inside the DVD/ISO root. Start the installation from a directory outside the DVD/ISO root. 
      - For example on Ubuntu
        * cd /tmp
        * /media/USERNAME/MATHWORKS_R2019A/install & 
        * or generally 
        * /path_to_dvd/install &
    - macOS
      - DVD installation — Insert/Mount DVD 1 into the DVD drive connected to your system. When the DVD icon appears on the desktop, double-click the icon to display the DVD contents, and then double-click the InstallForMacOSX icon to begin the installation.

  - Select the **I have the File Installation Key for my license** option, enter the File Installation Key, and click **Next**.
  - Specify the Installation Folder
    - Specify the name of the folder where you want to install MathWorks products. Accept the default installation folder, or click **Browse** to select a different one. If the folder does not exist, the installer creates it. When specifying a folder name, you can use any alphanumeric character and some special characters, such as underscores. If you make a mistake while entering a folder name and want to start over, click **Restore Default Folder**. After making your selection, click **Next.**

This dialog box lists all the products associated with the license you selected or with the Activation Key you specified. In the dialog box, all the products are preselected for installation. If you do not want to install a particular product, clear the check box next to its name.
    - After selecting the products you want to install, click **Next** to continue with the installation.
  - Specify Installation Options
    - **Linux Systems**   
      - On Linux systems, you can specify whether you want to create symbolic links to the matlab and mex scripts. Specify a folder to which you have write access and that is common to all your user's paths, such as /usr/local/bin .
      - After selecting installation options, click **Next** to proceed with the installation.
   - Confirm Your Choices   
     - Before it begins installing the software on your hard disk, the installer displays a summary of your installation choices. To change a setting, click **Back**. To proceed with the installation, click **Install.** 

If you have any problems accessing any toolboxes or you encounter any licensing issues make sure the ''network.lic'' file which is located in ''/path/to/matlab/licenses'' (replace with the path where you installed MATLAB) contains both the ''SERVER'' and the ''USE_SERVER'' lines from the downloaded license file.
