starting a matlab program without a licence?

Hi,

I am total beginner in terms of matlab. So, I am really sorry if my question isn't the smartest one.

I want to use the following program, which was coded with Matlab: https://neurorehabilitation.m-iti.org/tools/en/physiolab

The description on the download page ( https://neurorehabilitation.m-iti.org/tools/en/physiolab-download) says that Matlab Runtime would be enough. So, I downloaded and installed the recommended Matlab 2013a.

At the moment, I am just confused: How can I start the program (Physiolab). Is it even possible with a free version of Matlab?

I am really looking forward to your reply.

Thanks a lot!!

Regards

It doesn't look like they actually compiled it, so it doesn't seem to make sense that they link to the MCR.

Alternatively, you can either install the normal version of Matlab 2013a (for which you would need a licence), or you could try if GNU Octave (which is free, but comes with a lot of other downsides instead) manages to run this code. That will probably require a lot of tweaking, as the creators of that package made the baffling choice of using GUIDE to create it.

Hi Rik,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I wonder if it would work if the free trial version of Matlab. Is it possible to create a stand-alone version of the program with this free trial version of Matlab?

That would probably at least require the compiler toolbox (not to be confused with the coder toolbox). I don't know if a trial licence is available that includes all required toolboxes and allows you to install this release.

You could contact the authors of that package, and you could also directly contact Mathworks by clicking the telephone icon at the top of the page.
