MATLAB: How to download the MathWorks Installer for a different operating system than the current platform

I would like to download the MATLAB installer for another operating system than the one I'm currently on.
How can I choose another operating system when downloading the installer from my MathWorks account?

Best Answer

The MathWorks website automatically detects the Operating System of the individual that is attempting to download the MATLAB Installer. As a result, downloads for a different platform require a few additional steps. Additionally, if our website is unable to detect your platform, it should prompt you for the type of system.

  3. Click the downwards-pointing blue arrow on the same row as the license in question.
