MATLAB App Installer File — mlappinstall

A MATLAB app installer file, .mlappinstall, is an archive file for sharing an app

you created using MATLAB. A single app installer file contains everything necessary to

install and run an app: the source code, supporting data, information (such as product

dependencies), and the app icon.

An .mlappinstall file is a compressed package that conforms to the Open Packaging

Conventions (OPC) interoperability standard. You can search for and install

.mlappinstall files using your operating system file browser. When you select an

.mlappinstall file in Windows Explorer or Quick Look (Mac OS), the browser displays

properties for the file, such as Authors and Release. Use these properties to search for

.mlappinstall files. Use the Tags property to add custom searchable text to the file.

For information on creating an app installer file for an app you created, see “Package

Apps”.
