-====== MATLAB ​R2018a Installation ​====== +====== MATLAB ​2020 ======
-==== Windows ==== +
-If you have an existing MATLAB installation prior to R2018a, we recommend you uninstall your current version and reboot your computer prior to running the R2018a installation.+
  
-To begin the non-interactive installation,​ IE users may click on the following link.  For any other browser you will need to copy & paste it into the Run box (Windows Key + R):  \\ 
-[[\\fsvs01\Applications\Public\netapps\MATLAB\r2018a\windows\win64\silentSetup.lnk]] 
  
-Cross-Registered students may have to specify the domain and authenticate ​with their Olin network credentialsfollowing ​the link below: +MATLAB installation,​ starting ​with version 2019ahas gone cloud based. ​ This means to use the latest version requires a Mathworks account.
-\\ +
-[[\\fsvs01.olin.edu\Applications\Public\netapps\MATLAB\r2018a\windows\win64\silentSetup.lnk]] +
-When prompted for username, please enter "​olin.edu\<​your username>"​ followed by your Olin network password.+
  
-Click **Open** in the Windows UAC warning window to continue with the installation. ​  +For any user of previous versions of MATLAB, please uninstall your current version before following any further steps.  ​When uninstallingselect ​to Uninstall MATLAB preference files.  ​
-There may appear to be a small delay between allowing the install to begin from the UAC window to when the actual ​MATLAB ​installer appears on screen where it appears that there is nothing occuring.  ​This is normal behavior while the installer loadsusers do not need to launch the installer more than once after allowing the UAC prompt to process.  ​The delay may be longer while installing over a wireless network connection than on a wired network connection.+
  
-At this point you will be able to watch the progress ​of the installation.  ​There is no interaction necessary on your part for the installation – all entries are preconfigured for the installation Each screen ​will display for a moment before continuing onto the next.+One of the final windows in the uninstall process states "There may be some remaining files in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\<​version>​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.
