You can share the .mlappinstall file directly with your users. To install it, they must
double-click the .mlappinstall file in the MATLAB Current Folder browser.
Alternatively, you can share your app as an add-on by uploading the .mlappinstall file
to MATLAB Central File Exchange. Your users can find and install your add-on from the
MATLAB Toolstrip by performing these steps:
(^1) In the MATLAB Toolstrip, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click the
Add-Ons icon.
(^2) Find the add-on by browsing through available categories on the left side of the Add-
On Explorer window. Use the search bar to search for an add-on using a keyword.
(^3) Click the add-on to open its detailed information page.
(^4) On the information page, click Add to install the add-on.
NoteAlthough .mlappinstall files can contain any files you specify, MATLAB Central
File Exchange places additional limitations on submissions. Your app cannot be submitted
to File Exchange when it contains any of the following files:
- MEX-files
- Other binary executable files, such as DLLs or ActiveX controls. (Data and image files
are typically acceptable.)
Create a Deployed Web App
Web apps are MATLAB apps that can run in a web browser. You create an app in App
Designer, package it using the Web App Compiler, and then use the MATLAB Web Apps
Manager to serve the app in a web browser. Then you can share the app within your
organization by sharing a URL. Creating deployed web apps requires MATLAB Compiler,
and only App Designer apps can be deployed as web apps.
Once you have MATLAB Compiler on your system, you can open the Web App Compiler
from within App Designer by clicking Share in the Designer tab and selecting Web
App. For more information, see “Web Apps” (MATLAB Compiler).
