Step 2: Download and Start Product Installer 1 Download the MathWorks product installer from the Downloads page on the MathWorks website.
When you select an installer on the website, you receive the files that the installer needs to run
on your selected platform, not the license manager files. The installer downloads the files that it
needs from MathWorks during installation.
2 Start the installer.
• Windows Systems If you click Run when you select the installer on the MathWorks website, the installer starts
automatically. If you saved the installer instead, double-click the self-extracting installer file in
the folder where you saved it. The name of the self-extracting installer file is
matlab_release_$ARCH, where release is the release you are installing (for example
R2020a) and $ARCH is the selected architecture.
The installer should start automatically after file extraction is complete.
To restart the installer later, click setup.exe. This file is located in the top level of the folder
where you extracted the files.
