Matlab Installation (or Upgrade)
The Matlab Package Manager (mpm) can be used to install Matlab on a NUC via the command line. An exemplary bash script to remove current versions and install a new one follows.
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp
# remove installed versions if present
rm -rf /usr/local/MATLAB/R2020a/
rm -rf /usr/local/MATLAB/R2022a/
rm -rf /opt/MATLAB/R2020a/
rm -rf /opt/MATLAB
# get mpm
wget -q https://www.mathworks.com/mpm/glnxa64/mpm
chmod +x mpm
# install release and toolboxes
MATLAB_RELEASE=r2023a
TOOLBOXES="Parallel_Computing_Toolbox ROS_Toolbox Statistics_and_Machine_Learning_Toolbox Symbolic_Math_Toolbox"
./mpm install --release=$MATLAB_RELEASE --destination=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/ --products MATLAB $TOOLBOXES
# symbolic link
ln -sf /usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin/matlabR2023a
# remove mpm
rm -f mpm /tmp/mathworks_root.log
Network Setup
Matlab is set up on the NUCs using a network license using this guide. We currently use the Matlab 2023a version. If you need to set up Matlab
If an existing installation with license is present on a NUC, ask for the license and installation files. Setup guide: https://doc.itc.rwth-aachen.de/display/SW/MATLAB+-+Installation+von+Netzwerklizenzensimply copying the licenses
folder in the installation directory (e.g. /usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/licenses
) to the new installation folder suffices.
DDS Setup
You can find all information required to set up RTI DDS in Matlab here: https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/rti-dds.html.
...
To use RTI DDS Support, you must have RTI DDS installed on your system. If that is not the case, please refer to rtiddsbasics.md for further information.

Your installation paths might be different, so you might need to change some of them.
