MATLAB Runtime Server

Configuration Information

Before you use the Runtime Server, you must install it and also stamp it with a password that you choose. First follow the instructions in the MATLAB Installation Guide for your platform. Your toolbox directory now contains a runtime subdirectory. This subdirectory contains tools for developing and debugging MATLAB runtime applications, along with some sample files.

To stamp MATLAB with your password, follow these instructions:

1. Go to the system prompt.
2. If matlabroot is the directory in which you installed MATLAB, then navigate to

• matlabroot\toolbox\runtime\bin\win32 (PC)
  matlabroot/toolbox/runtime (UNIX)
  

3. At the system prompt, type

• rtsetup -f matlabroot\bin\win32\matlab.exe -s string (PC)
  rtsetup (UNIX)
  

1. where string is a password that you choose. On UNIX platforms, rtsetup is an interactive script that prompts you for the password; for more details, see the text file matlabroot/toolbox/runtime/README.

   The utility rtsetup stamps your copy of MATLAB with this password. The password can be up to 32 characters long and may include spaces.

Note    You cannot restamp a previously stamped copy of MATLAB.

If you anticipate creating multiple runtime applications, each with a different password, then you might want to preserve an unstamped copy of matlabroot\bin\win32\matlab.exe (PC) or matlabroot/bin/arch/matlab (UNIX, where arch is a directory name specific to your architecture). Then whenever you need to change the password, copy the unstamped file into its proper place and run rtsetup. Alternatively, you can reinstall MATLAB and run rtsetup each time you want to change the password.
