MathWorks Installation Help

Step 6. Confirm User
The software assumes that the person installing it is also the person using the software. If you are
installing the software for someone else, change the user name (login name) to the intended end user.
Step 7. Select Destination Folder
The destination folder is where you want to install MathWorks products. Accept the default
installation folder, or click Browse to select a different one. If the folder does not exist, the installer
creates it.
The destination folder must be on an absolute path. MathWorks recommends that you install
MathWorks products in their own folder. If you select the top-level drive, you will be asked to confirm
your selections.
When specifying a folder name:
• You can use any alphanumeric character and some special characters, such as underscores.
• You cannot use non-English characters.
• Folder names cannot contain invalid characters and the destination cannot be named “private.”
If you make a mistake while entering a folder name and want to start over, click Restore Default.
Step 8. Select Products
The Product Selection list shows all the products associated with the license you selected, or with the
Activation Key you specified.
• To install a particular product, check the box next to its name. MATLAB is selected by default.
• If you do not want to install a particular product, clear the check box next to its name.
• If any of your selected products have a dependency on a product that was not selected, you will
get a Product Dependencies warning and you will be asked to add the dependent products.
Dependent products are optional and you can choose to add or not add them. However, while you
are still able to install the selected products without dependent products, you may not be able to
access all the functionality you require.
• Required products must be installed.
