====== MATLAB ====== MATLAB installation, starting with version 2019a, has gone cloud based. This means to use the latest version requires a Mathworks account. For any user of previous versions of MATLAB, please uninstall your current version before following any further steps. When uninstalling, select to Uninstall MATLAB preference files. One of the final screens in the uninstall process states "There may be some remaining files in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\. You can manually delete them." You will want to do this, as any loose files remaining can cause issues with pointing to the previous license. ---- ===== Downloading MATLAB ===== * To begin with, go to the [[https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html|MATLAB website]] and click on the profile icon in the top right corner. {{:matlab1.png?nolink|}} * Click on create account on the bottom and fill out the necessary information with your Olin email {{:matlab2.png?nolink|}} {{:matlab3r.png?nolink|}} * Go to your email and follow the link for your verification email. **Note:** If Mathworks states that you already have an account, skip to the bottom section of this page * Complete the verification email and sign in to the site.
