- Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.
- Download the software from mathworks download site and install.

Installation Help
If you get stuck or have problems with the self-service installation you may contact tanthony@uab.edu or laurenr@uab.edu for installation or usage issues, mbolding@uab.edu (to be added to the license or for installation issues), or support@mathworks.com. Mathworks will want your license number: 678600. If you do not hear back from Mark within one working day then call 4-2009.
You must be faculty, staff, post-doc, or a grad student using Mathworks software for UAB research activities to activate this software.
Common Issues
libXp.so.6 Error when starting MATLAB on a Red Hat / Fedora workstation
When executing 'matlab' on a Red Hat / Fedora workstation you may receive the following error:
'bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
The solution is to install the libXp package (this will require root privileges)
$ sudo yum install libXp
