How Do I Configure the Matlab Interface?

MATLAB must be installed

For step 2 (required for MATLAB versions 2009b and over), we need to know whether the 32-bit or 64-bit version of MATLAB is installed. We also need to know the path to the Matlab installation (e.g. c:\Program Files\MATLAB\2009b\).

PATH environment variable

For versions 2009b and over, make sure that the path to the Win32 or Win64 folder in the MATLAB installation to the PATH environment variable is defined:

• The path for the 64-bit version for Matlab 2009b is typically c:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009b\bin\win64. For the 32-bit version, the path is typically c:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009b\bin\win32.
• Open the "System Properties" Dialog by holding down the Windows key and pressing the Pause key at the same time.
  • In XP, the dialog is opened directly.
  • In Vista and Window 7, the key combination opens the System Display. Click on the link "Change Settings".
  • In Windows 8, the key combination also opens the System Display. Click on the link “Advanced system settings”. Skip the step in this description, as you have already chosen the advanced settings.
