Add toolbox to MATLAB manually

I am new to MATLAB and trying to install the Wavelet Toolbox to MATLAB 2018 trial but it seems it won't happen because every time I get this "Your administrator has restricted your download access to this MathWorks product". So, I downloaded the Wavelet Toolbox package from this link: here, it's an 2009 release Is it possible to use it for the 2018 version? is there any way to install it? or the license is needed for this product? and if the license is a must, could i get it with student package 50$?

Thank you in advance, sorry for my bad english.

If you are using MATLAB R2016a or later, you can do this without leaving MATLAB.

Whether you need additional toolboxes, apps, hardware support packages, or community submissions, you can easily browse and find what you’re looking for using the Add-On Explorer. Learn more here.

Add-ons extend the capabilities of MATLAB. Find add-ons for your task, no matter what you’re working on.

"Is it possible to use it for the 2018 version" most likely

"license is needed for this product" no it's free to use

Installation seems to be simple; it says: "Installation note: you need to add the content of toolbox/ in your Matlab path."

Thus,

1. click download
2. unzip the file
3. add the folder, toolbox_wavelets, and subfolders to the matlab path

[norah ali]

you mean this path: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018b\toolbox

[Walter Roberson]

No. put it in one of your directory not under Program Files. Then use pathtool to add the directory to MATLAB internal list of directory it searches

[norah ali]

A long list of files appeared but there is no a startup

[per isakson]

Matlab lets you put toolboxes (and m-files) anywhere on your harddisk. However, a bit of planning certainly helps.

Firstly, I assume that you don't already have a folder-structure for your work with Matlab. To be concrete I propose that you create c:\m\FEX and unzip the wavelet toolbox to c:\m\FEX\toolbox_wavelets. FEX is short for the File Exchange.

Next, you run pathtool in the command window. It opens a GUI in which you add c:\m\FEX\toolbox_wavelets together with Subfolders to the Search Path.

And create c:\m\sandbox and add it to the Search path. That's an appropriate folder for you first experiments.

"there is no a startup" but there is a file, c:\m\FEX\toolbox_wavelets\html\content.html, (depending where you put it), double click on that file and start reading.

I'm slow, don't mind me :"(

Is m a simple folder or something specific ?

[per isakson]

m is an ordinary folder; nothing specific. The name, m, is just the shortest I can think of that is easy to associate with Matlab source code. I have all my m-files in subfolders of m.

[norah ali]

I still get errors :(

[Walter Roberson]

The toolbox you downloaded is a user contribution that provides its own functions. it is not the Mathworks Wavelet toolbox . It does not provide dwt2 under that name . it probably provides equivalent functionality through other calls .

[norah ali]

So, what could I do in this situation?

[per isakson]

"Your administrator has restricted your download access to this MathWorks product" Ask your administrator about access to the toolbox by The MathWorks.

Read the documentation on the FEX-submission, make a couple of simple experiments and decide whether it would serve your needs.

[Walter Roberson]

When you obtained the Trial, you would have been sent a download link . that was outside the download structure of your university. If your Trial did not include the Wavelet Toolbox you can go back to MATLAB Sales and ask for Wavelet Toolbox to be added to your Trial, and if they approve then they will send you the appropriate download link.
