Installing Prerequisite Products

To generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™, you must install the following products:

  • MATLAB

    Note

    If MATLAB is installed on a path that contains non 7-bit ASCII characters, such as Japanese characters, MATLAB Coder might not work because it cannot locate code generation library functions.

  • MATLAB Coder

  • C or C++ compiler

    MATLAB Coder automatically locates and uses a supported installed compiler. For the current list of supported compilers, see Supported and Compatible Compilers on the MathWorks® website.

    You can use mex -setup to change the default compiler. See Change Default Compiler.

To use MATLAB Coder to generate code for deep learning networks, you must also install:

  • Deep Learning Toolbox™

  • MATLAB Coder Interface for Deep Learning

To generate code for deep learning networks, additional third-party libraries and setup steps might be required. See Prerequisites for Deep Learning with MATLAB Coder.

The MATLAB Coder Interface for Deep Learning is not supported for MATLAB Online™.

For instructions on installing MathWorks products, see the MATLAB installation documentation for your platform. If you have installed MATLAB and want to check which other MathWorks products are installed, enter ver in the MATLAB Command Window.
