If you wish to set the python environment for MATLAB sessions, you can start MATLAB in CLI mode and then use the "pyenv" function to select and load a Python interpreter.
% System Command
matlab -nodisplay -r "command"
% MATLAB Command
pyenv('Version', '<path-to-python>');
Alternatively, you could also use the "system" function to execute shell commands and create a virtual environment with the specific Python interpreter.
% Create a virtual environment
system('python -m venv <path-to-venv>');
% Activate the virtual environment
system('source <path-to-venv-bin-activate>');
To automate this process, the following Dockerfile template can be followed:
FROM <matlab version>
# Install Python and other dependencies
RUN <apt-get and apt-install>
# Copy your MATLAB script into the container
COPY your_script.m <path-to-your-script>
# Set the entrypoint to run MATLAB with your script
ENTRYPOINT ["matlab", "-nodisplay", "-r", "your_script"]
