Install parallel computing toolbox in matlab docker

28 views (last 30 days)
Hi Community,
I am struggling with installing parallel computing toolbox within matlab docker images (latest version).
Some problems:
1. The matlab docker image browser version does not support Add-on Explorer, which means I cannot install the toolbox directly.
2. The docker image suggests using File Exchange to download the toolbox. However, I can not find the parallel computing toolbox in File Exchange.
3. With my education license, the parallel computing toolbox is automatically installed. No .mltbx file is provided, which makes local installation inaccessible inside docker.
On the other hand, the offical matlab docker documentation says add-ons can be installed.
Can anyone offer some help? Thank you very much !!!

Web browser version does not support Add-On Explorer, so, you need to launch MATLAB with VNC options.
docker run -it --rm -p 5901:5901 -p 6080:6080 --shm-size=512M mathworks/matlab:r2022b -vnc
Then, in your web browser, type "http://localhost:6080/" in address bar.
You can access Linux's desktop environment.
Next, launch "Terminal Emulator", and type
sudo matlab
to launch MATLAB with sudo. It's because MATLAB is installed in /opt/matlab/R2022b with root write permissions.
Then, you can launch Add On Explorer and install toolboxes.
UPDATED
Also, there is a command line way instead of Add-On Explorer.
MATLAB Package Manager (MPM) is available from GitHub.
In Terminal Emulator, download MPM with wget and install Parallel Computing Toolbox with MPM.
wget https://www.mathworks.com/mpm/glnxa64/mpm
chmod +x mpm
sudo ./mpm install --release=R2022b --destination=/opt/matlab/R2022b/ --products Parallel_Computing_Toolbox
Installation Results:
Hope this work.

Regarding above 3., product names should be ROS_Toolbox for ROS Toolbox.
So, the following will work.
sudo ./mpm install --release=R2022b --destination=/path/to/MATLAB/R2022b/ --product ROS_Toolbox

One could also build a container with additional toolboxes by using the Dockerfile listed below.
This example installs the ROS Toolbox & the Parallel Computing Toolbox. Using the MATLAB Package Manager.
See MPM.md for more information.
Commands to run on your terminal:
#Ensures that latest image is pulled
docker pull mathworks/matlab:r2022b
#navigate to the directory in which you have Downloaded the provided Dockerfile
docker build -t matlab-with-toolboxes:r2022b .
#run your container to verify that the desired toolboxes are present
docker run -it --rm matlab-with-toolboxes:r2022b

Yes, https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/tree/main/mpm-input-files
It's usage is documented in the MPM readme in the same repository.
