Parameters

main file — name of the function to package

character vector

Name of the function to package as a character vector. The selected function is the entry point for the packaged application.

packaging options — method for installing the MATLAB Runtime with the packaged application

MATLAB Runtime downloaded from web (default) | MATLAB Runtime included in package

You can decide whether to include the MATLAB Runtime installer in the generated application by selecting one of the two options in the Packaging Options section. You can also customize the name of the installer executable using the text box.

Runtime downloaded from web — Generates an installer that downloads the MATLAB Runtime and installs it along with the deployed MATLAB application.

Runtime included in package — Generates an installer that includes the MATLAB Runtime installer.

Including the MATLAB Runtime installer in the package significantly increases the size of the package. The first time you select this option, you are prompted to download the MATLAB Runtime installer or obtain a CD if you do not have internet access.
