Sadly matlab doesn t create one for us automatically after the installation like it should have done so we ll need to create the launcher manually.
How to open matlab from terminal.
The wait option pauses the script until matlab terminates.
You may well be aware that you can run a matlab script from the command line with the r flag.
Run current selection in matlab which runs the currently.
This is where it gets tricky.
By default when you call the matlab command from a script the command starts matlab and then immediately executes the next statements in the script.
Open a matlab terminal which opens an interactive matlab terminal in the vs code integrated terminal similar to the matlab command line.
Instead we simply want to run matlab using an icon in the applications menu.
It still loads into the desktop.
By default the commande matlab on the terminal try to open the 2017a version and failed even after i did what you said.
I just downloaded matlab 2017b while there is the 2017a version on my computer version i do not own the licence.
Type exit to quit.
For more information on options when launching matlab here is the documentation for windows and unix.
There s also a nosplash option for starting matlab but this just skips the splash screen the first window with the picture of the membrane and the version number.
I d like to be able to run it from the command line ala a linux system as i m not terribly thrilled with the matlab ui and i end up sshing into my computer a fair amount and prefer to stick with the terminal for the most part.
I recently installed matlab r2010b on a mac running os 10 7.
Ideally one could write a command that opens matlab makes the current folder of matlab the same path as the current terminal directory then opens a specified file in editor.
Thanks for your help.

We don t want to always open the terminal and run the above command each time we want to open matlab.
