Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.
| Create a batch file that first copies down the license.dat file to the local drive and then runs "setup.exe -if installer.ini" Installer.ini has to be edited, with entries like destination folder name, PLP and location of the license.dat file It works pretty well. For the uninstall, run "c:\program files\Matlabr2009b\uninstall\uninstall.exe" -if "c:\temp\uninstaller.ini" The uninstaller.ini file is found in c:\program files\Matlabr2009b\uninstall along with uninstall.exe. The ini file needsto be edited. | ||||

| An automated windows installation of matlab is fairly painless, however that's not the case for the linux version. I contacted mathworks who told me that the linux version had no option for an automated install. In light of this, the following expect script answers all the questions matlab R2009b asks on install. #!/usr/bin/expect set timeout -1 spawn ./install -t expect ">" send "a\r" expect "Enter the MATLAB root folder >*" send "/usr/local/matlab/\r" expect "Enter your File Installation Key >*" send "your-serial-number\r" expect "Enter a number to toggle installing*" send "c\r" expect "Do you want to create symbolic links*" send "y\r" expect "Enter the location for the links*" send "\r" expect "Enter the location of the license file >*" send "/usr/local/matlab/license.dat\r" expect "Begin Installation*" send "y\r" 1) Install expect (under debian/ubuntu : "apt-get install expect") 2) paste the above script into matlab.exp 3) move the script to the directory in which you downloaded matlab (/tmp/matlab/unix) 4) make the script executable (chmod +x matlab.exp) 5) execute the script as root or sudo (sudo ./matlab.exp) 6) let it talk to itself for a while. Depending on the computer, this can take up to 15 minutes for a full install with all the toolboxes. | ||||
