What Is MATLAB Compiler?

MATLAB Compiler™ enables you to share MATLAB® programs as standalone applications, web apps, and Docker container images. Check out more on MATLAB Compiler: https://bit.ly/3chL8ts

With MATLAB Compiler, you can also package and deploy MATLAB programs as MapReduce and Spark™ big data applications or as Microsoft® Excel® Add-ins. End users can run your applications royalty-free with MATLAB Runtime or embed them directly within your compiled applications. MATLAB Runtime is a set of shared libraries required to run artifacts generated with MATLAB Compiler, which is free to download from mathworks.com.

You can generate different targets using MATLAB Compiler such as the standalone application, which you can create from MATLAB programs or from apps developed using MATLAB App Designer. Use the Application Compiler to package the main file and any associated files into the installer. You can also customize your application with a unique startup image and provide additional text information. Then, package your files and provide the generated installer to your end users, who can install and run it like any other desktop application.

Using the development version of MATLAB Web App Server™ included with MATLAB Compiler, you can develop and test out the web apps workflow. Users interact with web apps in a browser without needing to install any additional software. As your MATLAB apps require further capabilities, such as authentication, you can adopt the MATLAB Web App Server product, which also supports interacting with apps created from different MATLAB releases.

You can package and distribute your standalone applications as self-contained Docker images. The container image consists of the application, optimized MATLAB Runtime components, and operating system libraries.

Additionally, you can create custom functions for Microsoft Excel by packaging MATLAB programs as Excel Add-ins. Excel users access these custom functions just as they would with any native function to perform analyses.

With MATLAB Compiler, you can generate standalone applications, web apps, and other targets that fit your deployment needs to distribute your applications to users whether or not they have MATLAB and Simulink®.
