deploytool on Matlab 2016

I am using deploytool in Matlab 2016. I can compile the code but I find that there are 3 output directories called for_redistribution, for_redistribution_files_only and for_testing. Which is the file or directory that I give to an end user? I am planning on having the user download the MCR from the Mathworks website. Thanks.

Hi Hari,

If the user has the MCR already then you can just provide them the 'for_redistribution_files_only'. Let me explain what all these folder means.

1. for_redistribution - This will have 'MyAppInstaller_web.exe' which can be used to install both MCR and the application.

2. for_redistribution_files_only - This folder will contain the apllication as well as other files that are required to run the application. This can be distributed for the end users.

3. for_testing - This folder will also contain your application along with other log files. You can use this to test your application from your end.

Thank you. Is it possible to give the end user only the for_redistribution folder? Or do I have to give them the for_redistribution_files_only also?

It depends whether they have MCR or not. If they have it see #2 above, if not see #1 above.
