Create a standalone application if you want to run MATLAB code on target machines that do not have MATLAB installed. Compile the MATLAB code by using the Application Compiler app
or by running the mcc command.
To run standalone applications, install the MATLAB Runtime. For more information, see Install and Configure the MATLAB Runtime. Standalone applications run on Windows®, Linux®, and macOS.
| Application Compiler | Package MATLAB programs for deployment as standalone applications |
applicationCompiler | Build and package functions into standalone applications |
mcc | Compile MATLAB functions for deployment |
deploytool | Compile and package functions for external deployment |
compiler.package.installer | Create an installer for files generated by the mcc
command |
compiler.package.InstallerOptions | Create an installer options object |
isdeployed | Determine whether code is running in deployed or MATLAB mode |
ismcc | Test if code is running during compilation process (using
mcc) |
ctfroot | Location of files related to deployed application |
mcrversion | Determine version of installed MATLAB Runtime |
%#function | Pragma to help MATLAB
Compiler locate functions called
through feval, eval, Handle
Graphics callback,
or objects loaded from MAT-files |
%#exclude | Ignore a file or function dependency during dependency analysis while executing the
mcc command |
