Create .exe file from GUI using MATLAB Coder

How can I create a .exe file of my MATLAB GUI using MATLAB Coder... so I can run it in a PC that does not have MATLAB?

I see the question: https://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/58431-create-exe-file-from-gui

where, the solution provided is to use deploytool from the MATLAB Compiler toolbox / MATLAB Compiler SDK toolbox. Unfortunately, I do not have these toolboxes. What I have is the MATLAB Coder toolbox, and I heard that it is enough to do the conversion to .exe

Therefore the question, how to create .exe of a GUI using MATLAB coder toolbox?

Hi Harryboy,

to generate a exe-file from a MATLAB GUI, you need the MATLAB Compiler Toolbox. The MATLAB Coder can generate code which could be embedded into an app. It is a common misunderstanding because the toolboxes have similar names.

Hope it help you.

Can you please explain quick steps what actions need to be taken to get the exe?

Thank you in advance!

There is there a video which explains you how to generate standalone apps:

Getting Started: Standalone Applications Using MATLAB Compiler

Here you have the documentation about the Standalone generator configuration:

Help Application Compiler

If you look at the video, in 5 minutes, you will be ready to generate your own exe-files.

Edit: When you give to your friends/colleagues the standalone app, they have to install the Runtime of your MATLAB version from this this page.

Thank you very very much!
