= Matlab for Nix users This repo is a collection of files that should help Nix and NixOS users install Matlab imperatively. == Install Like any other Matlab user, you should first go to your Matlab account on Mathworks' website, at: https://www.mathworks.com/mwaccount/ and download the installation zip file. Extract the zip file and note the `install` executable you just extracted. To run that file, you'll need to get into a FHS environment that a nix-shell will provide. === Run `matlab-shell` with an unstable Nix .... nix run gitlab:doronbehar/nix-matlab#matlab-shell .... === Run `matlab-shell` with +++stable+++ legacy Nix .... git clone https://gitlab.com/doronbehar/nix-matlab cd nix-matlab nix-shell .... === Installation of Matlab itself include::./install.adoc[] === Adding `matlab` executables to your system With what was done now, you run Matlab from the command line with: .... # Legacy nix users (inside a clone of this repo) $(nix-build)/bin/matlab # Flake nix users (without cloning) nix run gitlab:doronbehar/nix-matlab .... But it's likely you'd like to make Matlab survive garbage collections and add a desktop launcher to your system. To do that you can follow one of the following paths according to your setup. ==== For NixOS users with a flakes setup ==== For NixOS users without a flakes setup ==== Home Manager setup == Previous work Core parts of this repo are based on https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/e6531426e86273e450c6133a0deae9008411fffd/pkgs/matlab[@tviti's work]. My part was making it a bit more accessible for modern Nix flake setup, and making the shell and steps a bit more approachable.
