Description

Installation of Additional Software — List of additional software ZIP

files that are installed on the user's system when they install a

toolbox.

Specify these fields:

• Display Name — The name to display to the user when they
  install a toolbox.


• License URL — The URL of the additional software license
  agreement to display to the user when they install a toolbox. The
  user is prompted to review and agree to the license agreement
  during installation. You must specify a valid URL to the license
  agreement.


• Download URL — The URL to the ZIP file that contains the
  additional software. To specify different download URLs for
  different platforms, select a platform name from the drop-down
  menu to the left of the download URL. Then, click Add Platform
  to add a download URL for additional platforms.

When the user installs a toolbox, MATLAB installs all additional

software in the addons\Toolboxes\AdditionalSoftware

folder, where addons is the add-ons default installation folder. For

more information about the location of the add-ons default

installation folder, see “Manage Your Add-Ons”.

If your toolbox contains code that refers to the installation folder of

the specified additional software, make these references portable to

other computers. Replace the references with calls to the generated

function toolboxname\getInstallationLocation.mlx, where

toolboxname is the name of your toolbox. For example, if you are

creating a toolbox called mytoolbox and want to reference the

install location for additional software called mysoftware, replace

this code

mysoftwarelocation = 'C:\InstalledSoftware\mysoftware\'
