Updating MATLAB Remotely via Command Line

Is there a way to update MATLAB silenly through Command Line actions? We have multiple devices in our lab with MATLAB and the correct license servers, and wanted to see if we could remotely update the devices.

I think theese links give you idea how to use matlab from command line.

I don't see anything obvious that would help with the "remotely" requirement.

Maybe I am just not seeing it.

You can use Net Send in windows to send a command or message to an another IP. I don't know how to do it in Linux.

I understand from you comment, you want to control or update your application in Matlab from different computer. My suggestion is to build a communication between each application (master - slave) using TCP/IP. Using this type a communication between applications, you cannot send a comman line action.

Thanks for that.

I was looking for something more like the way we deploy Matlab to computers labs using method of downloading the install files to server on the network and utilizing the "Intaller_Input.text" file. Kind of like using a basic batch file or something.

Never mind. I figured it out using the "Update offline computer" instructions.

Update MathWorks Software on Offline Computer - MATLAB & Simulink

I downloaded and saved the update in a network location, and then sent the command to run the update to the remote computers.

"\\Network_Location\MathWorksUpdateInstaller.exe" --destination "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a"
