MATLAB Runtime: Powerful Tool for Deploying MATLAB Applications

Peter Salakani

12/19/2024

MATLAB Runtime allows users to run applications created with MATLAB without needing a full MATLAB installation, making it a valuable resource for developers and researchers to share their work efficiently.

The MATLAB Runtime is a software developed by MathWorks that enables users to run MATLAB-based applications without requiring them to install MATLAB on their computer. The software can execute M-files, MATLAB toolboxes, and compiled MATLAB code (.mex files).

The MATLAB Runtime comes in handy when developers want to ensure that their end-users have access to a standard version of MATLAB in order to run their applications. This is particularly useful for applications that require a specific version of MATLAB or for users who do not have access to the full version of MATLAB software due to licensing restrictions or cost limitations.

The MATLAB Runtime is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
Developers can create standalone applications using MATLAB Compiler and deploy them using the MATLAB Runtime on different platforms.

The runtime environment allows users to interact with the application through a graphical user interface (GUI) or via command line interface (CLI) depending on what the developer has implemented.

The MATLAB Runtime is not freely available, as it must be separately downloaded and installed by the end-user in order for them to run an application developed with MATLAB. Developers will often include clear instructions for users on how to download and install the required runtime environment alongside their application.

The MATLAB Runtime provides a convenient way for developers to distribute their applications developed using MATLAB, without requiring that end-users purchase and install MATLAB on their own computers.

FAQ

What is MATLAB Runtime?

MATLAB Runtime is a set of shared libraries that enables the execution of compiled MATLAB applications on computers that do not have MATLAB installed.

What platforms are supported by MATLAB Runtime?

MATLAB Runtime supports Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use MATLAB Runtime?

No, you do not need to install MATLAB to use MATLAB Runtime. However, you will need to download the appropriate version of MATLAB Runtime for the compiled application you wish to run.

What versions of MATLAB Runtime are available?

MATLAB Runtime versions correspond to specific versions of MATLAB. You can download previous releases of MATLAB Runtime, as well as the latest release, from the MathWorks website.

Can I distribute MATLAB Runtime with my compiled application?

Yes, you can distribute the appropriate version of MATLAB Runtime with your compiled MATLAB application in accordance with the conditions of the MATLAB License Agreement.

What license do I need for MATLAB Runtime?

You will need a license for MATLAB Compiler in order to use MATLAB Runtime. Additionally, the end user of your compiled application will need a license for either MATLAB or MATLAB Compiler Runtime.

Can I use MATLAB Runtime with third-party applications?

Yes, it is possible to use MATLAB Runtime with third-party applications. However, you will need to have the appropriate integration tools for the specific third-party application you are using.

Are there any limitations to running MATLAB applications with MATLAB Runtime?

The main limitation of running MATLAB applications with MATLAB Runtime is that only compiled MATLAB code can be executed. Additionally, the performance may be slower compared to running the code directly within MATLAB itself.

How do I obtain technical support for MATLAB Runtime?

If you require technical support for MATLAB Runtime, you can contact MathWorks support through their website or by email. Additionally, there are several resources available on the MathWorks website, including documentation and forums.

Is there a cost associated with MATLAB Runtime?

No, there is no cost associated with downloading and using MATLAB Runtime. However, as mentioned earlier, you will need a license for either MATLAB or MATLAB Compiler Runtime in order to use compiled MATLAB applications.
