Maple toolbox for MATLAB

Is there anybody who is actively using latest version 2025 Maple toolbox (as a part of Maple) with MATLAB R2025b? I am not able to install the Maple toolbox on MATLAB R2025b on Ubuntu 24.04 Linux (installation process hangs).

I need to use the Maple toolbox for complicated symbolic computing which is not possible to perform via MATLAB symbolic toolbox (many symbolic matrix exponentials of 6x6 symbolic matrices, which takes on Matlab symbolic toolbox enormous CPU time).

As a MapleSoft product, best bet is probably one of their forums. I think it's not at all surprising there are issues going to R2025 given the major rewrites...

@dpb You are probably right.

But anyway, if there is any MATLAB user on this forum who uses this Maple toolbox, I would be very happy for any relevant comment.

No disagreement, but for any real chance for prompt resoltuion it'll almost certainly take the vendor. A quick search didn't find anything about solutions so one can conclude it hasn't got a broad exposure yet.

After some discussions with Maple support team, I have the following answers:

1. Current version Maple + MTM 2025.2 is incompatible with Matlab R2025b on Ubuntu 24.04 platform (install hangs). On Windows platform is possible to perform installation, but help file are unaccessible by recent Matlab way.
2. Current system requirements, see here. R2024b is the newest MATLAB release supported by MTM (Maple Toolbox for Matlab for Maple 2025.x releases).
3. updates to Maple-Matlab compatibilities are always related only to a new main release of Maple, this is why MTM -and other 3rd party connectors- are always lagging behind a bit. So, I would check back in March 2026. But MTM has always been updated because we have many active users.
4. Effective and reliable switching mechanism between Matlab and Maple symbolic engines (in a case that both symbolic engines are installed) is not supported recently. So, only one symbolic engine is possible to use permanently. Switching-off the Maple symbolic engine is possible only by complete MTM install/uninstall of the MTM.
