MathWorks Installation Help

3-5

---

• macOS Systems
Double-click the dmg file that you downloaded from the MathWorks website. Double-click
InstallForMacOSX.app.
• Linux Systems
Use the unzip command to extract the files from the archive file that you downloaded from
the MathWorks website. After extracting the files, execute the installer command:
./install
3
When the installer prompts you to sign in, click Advanced Options > I want to install network
license manager.
Step 3: Review Software License Agreement
Review the software license agreement and, if you agree with the terms, select Yes and click Next.
Note To view the end user license agreement at any time after installation, execute the following
command in the MATLAB Command Window:
>> edit( fullfile(matlabroot, 
'license_agreement.txt'
) )
Step 4: Select License File
Provide the name and path to the license file that you downloaded in Step 1. Click Next.
If the installer cannot find the host ID in the license, you will get a message instructing you to
manually add the host ID after you finish installing.
Step 5: Select Destination Folder
The destination folder is where you want to install the network license manager. 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 the
network license manager in its own folder. If you select the top-level drive, you will be asked to
confirm your selection.
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.
