Standalone Applications

Create standalone applications from MATLAB^® functions

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 running the compiler.build.standaloneApplication or mcc command, or by using the Application Compiler app.

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.

Apps

Application Compiler

Package MATLAB programs for deployment as standalone applications

Functions

expand all

App Launcher

`applicationCompiler`	Build and package functions into standalone applications
`deploytool`	Open a list of application deployment apps

Build

`mcc`	Compile MATLAB functions for deployment
`compiler.build.standaloneApplication`	Create a standalone application for deployment outside MATLAB
`compiler.build.standaloneWindowsApplication`	Create a standalone application for deployment outside MATLAB that does not launch a Windows command prompt
`compiler.build.StandaloneApplicationOptions`	Create a standalone application options object
`compiler.build.Results`	Compiler build results object

Package

`compiler.package.installer`	Create an installer for files generated by the `mcc` command
`compiler.package.InstallerOptions`	Create an installer options object

Docker

`compiler.package.docker`	Create a docker image for files generated by MATLAB Compiler on Linux operating systems
`compiler.package.DockerOptions`	Create a docker options object

Path, State Detection, and Version

`ctfroot`	Location of files related to deployed application
`isdeployed`	Determine whether code is running in deployed or MATLAB mode
`ismcc`	Test if code is running during compilation process (using `mcc`)
`mcrversion`	Return the MATLAB Runtime version number matching the version of MATLAB

Pragmas

`%#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
