How to Install MATLAB

Introduction to MATLAB

MATLAB is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. It is intended primarily for numerical computing. The multi-paradigm numerical computing environment allows developers students and engineers to interface with programs developed in different languages which makes it possible to harness the strength of each language for various purposes. It is used in various fields such as image and signal processing, communications, control systems for industry, computational finance, deep learning, machine learning as well as Image processing which makes it a very important and versatile tool. As per the latest data from Wikipedia MATLAB has around more than 3 million users worldwide.

Why should we use MATLAB?

  • In MATLAB, the basic data element is the matrix. So if we input a simple integer, it is considered as a one-dimensional matrix of one row and one column. Several mathematical operations that work on arrays or matrices are built-in to the MATLAB environment. For example, cross-products, dot-products, determinants, inverse matrices.
  • Another important feature is vectorized operations which means you can add two arrays together using only one command, instead of using a for or while loop.
  • The graphical output is optimized for interaction. You can plot your data very easily, and then change colours, sizes, scales, etc, by using the graphical interactive tools.
  • Its functionality can be greatly expanded by the addition of toolboxes. These are sets of specific functions that provide more specialized functionality. For example, an Excel link allows the data to be written in a format recognized by Excel, Statistics Toolbox allows more specialized statistical manipulation of data (ANOVA, Basic Fits, etc). So, basically, we can optimize the data as per our needs.
  • So, basically, it is not only a programming language, It is basically a programming environment as I have stated in the first line of this how-to install Matlab article.
  • We can even perform operations from the command line.

As every coin has two sides so does MATLAB. It has a few disadvantages as mentioned below:

  • It requires a large amount of memory. So, it becomes hard to use in computers with less RAM and you are not able to extract its potential.
  • It sits on top of windows’ which means it gets as much CPU time as the windows allow it to have, this makes real-time computations problematic.

Steps To Install MATLAB

Now we are going to install MATLAB R2018b which is currently the latest version in this blog.

Step 1: Select any browser installed on your computer and opens the browser. I will be using Google Chrome for now to install MATLAB.

Step 2: Type ‘MathWorks’ in the browser search.

MathWorks

Step 3: Click the link MathWorks- Makers of MATLAB and Simulink- MATLAB & Simulink

Makers of MATLAB and Simulink

Step 4: On clicking the link you will be directed to the home page of MathWorks and this is how the screen looks.
