Run App

To run an installed app (apps that install with MathWorks products and apps that you

installed separately):

1 On the desktop toolstrip, click the Apps tab.

2 At the end of the Apps section, click the down arrow.

3 In the apps gallery, browse the apps to find the one you want to run.

Hover over an app button to see a tooltip describing the app.

4 Click the app button.

You can run multiple custom apps concurrently, including multiple instances of the same

app.

Install or Reinstall App

To install or reinstall an app that you or someone else wrote:

1 On the desktop toolstrip, click the Apps tab.

2 In the File section, click Install App.

3 In the Install App dialog box, specify a MATLAB app installer (.mlappinstall)

file, and then click Open.

4 In the App Installer dialog box, click Install or Reinstall.

MATLAB installs or reinstalls the app and displays it in the apps gallery.

When you install an app using the .mlappinstall file, MATLAB manages the

MATLAB path for you. Therefore, you can run the app from the apps gallery without

adjusting your desktop environment.
