From the Downloads page on MathWorks, select the release and platform of the computer that
you are using to download (not the target computer).

From the installer, select Advanced Options > I want to download without installing.
Step 2. Select Destination Folder
Enter the path to the folder where you want to download the installer and product files.
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.”
The destination folder must be on an absolute path.
Step 3. Select Platform
Select the platform of the computer you are going to be installing MATLAB on: Windows, Linux, or
macOS.
You can select multiple platforms; during the download, you will get a separate folder for each
platform.

Step 4. Select Products
The Product Selection list shows all the products available across all of your linked licenses.
• To make a particular product available for installation on the target computer, check the box next
to its name. MATLAB is selected by default.
• If you do not want to have a particular product available for installation on the target computer,
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.
When the software is installed, the products available for installation will depend on what is allowed
on the license.
