Hi,
To run MATLAB scripts from the terminal on a Mac, especially with a version like R2020b on an M2 Mac, you might encounter some compatibility issues or configuration problems due to the differences in architecture and macOS updates. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you resolve the issue and run `.m` files from the terminal:
Step 1: Verify MATLAB Installation Path
Ensure that the MATLAB installation path is correct. Double-check that the path you are using is correct and points to a valid MATLAB installation.
Step 2: Use the MATLAB Command-Line Interface
To run MATLAB from the terminal, you should use the `matlab` command-line interface instead of directly executing the binary. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open Terminal.
2. Navigate to the MATLAB Installation Directory:
cd /Applications/MATLAB_R2020b.app/bin
3. Run MATLAB in Command-Line Mode:
./matlab -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r "run('path/to/your/script.m');exit;"
- Replace `path/to/your/script.m` with the full path to your MATLAB script.
Step 3: Address the Info.plist Issue
The error message about the `Info.plist` file suggests there might be an issue with the application bundle configuration. However, this is usually not a concern when running MATLAB from the command line. If you continue to encounter issues:
- Reinstall MATLAB: Consider reinstalling MATLAB to ensure all files are correctly set up.
Step 4: Consider Compatibility
Consider upgrading to a version of MATLAB that supports your architecture, if possible. MATLAB R2021b and later versions offer native support for Apple Silicon.
By following these steps, you should be able to run MATLAB scripts from the terminal on your Mac.
