= 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 +++<s>stable</s>+++ 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
|
|
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
# ...
|
|
nix-matlab = {
|
|
# Recommended if you also override the default nixpkgs flake, common among
|
|
# nixos-unstable users:
|
|
#inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
|
url = "gitlab:doronbehar/nix-matlab";
|
|
};
|
|
# ...
|
|
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nix-matlab }:
|
|
let
|
|
flake-overlays = [
|
|
nix-matlab.overlay
|
|
];
|
|
in {
|
|
nixosConfigurations = (
|
|
HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
|
modules = [ (import ./configuration.nix flake-overlays) ]
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
And in `./configuration.nix`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
# All overlays given by flakes
|
|
flake-overlays:
|
|
|
|
{ config, pkgs, options, lib, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
nixpkgs.overlays = [
|
|
(
|
|
final: prev: {
|
|
# Your own overlays...
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
] ++ flake-overlays;
|
|
}
|

|
|
|
|
==== For NixOS users without a flakes setup
|
|
|
|
The following setup should also fit flake NixOS users.
|
|
|
|
Add to your `configration.nix` (untested, but should work):
|
|
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
nixpkgs.overlays = let
|
|
nix-matlab = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://gitlab.com/doronbehar/nix-matlab/-/archive/master/nix-matlab-master.tar.gz") { };
|
|
in [
|
|
nix-matlab.overlay
|
|
(
|
|
final: prev: {
|
|
# Your own overlays...
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
];

== Previous work / Credits
|
|
|
|
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.
