Hello there, Is it possible to used MATLAB commands from Google Colab (Jupiter on cloud)?

For example, I would like to call Risk Management Toolbox functions like bin(vbt, Name, Value), tbfi(vbt, Name, Value) or tuff(vbt, Name, Value) in Google Colab.

I tried without success

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()

This is the same as calling matlab from python, right? Can you call it from python first?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Yes, calling MATLAB from python is done with

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab ()

however, this method implies that MATLAB is installed on the PC and Google Colab is a cloud environment.

Is it possible to call MATLAB from Google Colaboratory?

Hi,

I also want to use a matlab function in my colab's notebook, and have the same problem, as you mentioned.

Did you find any solution for that?

I would be very glad to know!

Seems like you need to bridge it.

Your local PC and Google Colab shall be able to communicate using python, I imagine. Using HTTP server for example. Then using python in your local PC to call matlab. Then python in your local PC to communicate with Google Colab.
