The MATLAB installation directory can be found by executing the following in the MATLAB command prompt:

matlabroot

Starting from MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b), MATLAB default installation directory on the MAC OS is

 /Applications/MATLAB_[Release].app

where [Release] is the MATLAB Release's version, i.e., R2008b, R2009a, etc.

The contents of the .app directory cannot be accessed by browsing through the 'Set Path' GUI in the File menu. To add the directories under .app directory to the path, use ADDPATH and SETPATH commands. For more information on the ADDPATH and SETPATH commands, please refer to the documentation by executing the following in the MATLAB command prompt:

help addpath
help setpath
