MATLAB: How to run matlab function in Linux command line

functionlinuxMATLAB

Hi!

So I wrote a function in matlab (with one input) and I would like to run it through the Linux command line.

I went through some answers in the community and I saw people saying this command:

matlab -nodisplay -r "functionname(argument1, argument2, argumentN);exit"

But what is "matlab" at the beginning? I am quite lost on what is that and how to obtain this "matlab" command.

Can anyone please shine some light on me with regards to this issue?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, matlab is the executable once the software is installed on Linux. Check this link where you can check the available startup options: https://la.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlablinux.html

Do you mean:

matlab -nodisplay -r "cd('/path/to'); functionname(argument1, argument2, argumentN);exit"

matlab -r 'myfunction(argument1,argument2)';

Or safer:

matlab -r 'try myfunction(argument1,argument2); catch; end; quit'
