How to get all possible arrangements for n=10 and more

Hi, I wish to get all the possible arrangements for n=10 and more,I used permutation and the output shows me:

 >> perms(1:10)
Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your
options.

 Error in perms (line 34)
P = V(P);

What can I do except for the permutation in order for me to get all possible arrangements for n=10 and more?Thanks.

It's quite a big matrix, but it should be able to do the operation if you don't have lots of data already loaded on your workspace.

For n=10 number of permutations is 10! = 3628800 so the size of v is 3628800x10, by default it will do it on double so 0.27Gb. Have you tried to do the operation in uint8?

v = perms(uint8(1:10));
