Using Matlab (on campus)
In order to use matlab on your ITLABS account, you will first need
to set it up. The easiest way to do this is to type:
module initadd math/matlab
After this is done, the first time, every time you log in to a
machine,
you can use matlab by simply typing "matlab." If you wish to use matlab
before logging out, you can type:
module load
math/matlab
After this is done, you can start matlab by typing "matlab."
It
should be noted that the default version of Matlab in ITLABS when you
load 'module load math/matlab' is 7.0, but you also can specifically
load the math/matlab/v.7.0.4 module, then you will get the latest
version.
There is an example matlab script here.
Using Matlab (off campus)
If you run Matlab from a linux or sun machine outside the campus,
you need to SSH to one of the machines in ITLABS, such as
cyan.itlabs.umn.edu. The list of all machine names can be found here.
After connecting the machine, then run matlab as above.
However, if you want to run Matlab from a Windows machine outside the
campus, you will not be able to see any of the plot/graphs or anything
that involves showing a graphical output (anything that is printed in
the form of texts is fine and can be seen). So, in order to do that you
can install X-Win32 which has a free trial version for downloading here. You
should expect that it is very slow, but it can help you do the work
anyway.
If you do not have SSH installed in your machine, you can download
from this
website.
