Matlab is available for free for current students at MIT from IS&T. Please follow the installation instructions from IS&T that can be found \[here \| [http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/student-matlab/\]\]. If you've never used MATLAB before, there are some beginner tutorials and other \[info \| [http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/matlab/www/\]\]. |
Installing CVX
After installing Matlab and testing your installation, you are ready to install CVX. Follow the instructions available from CVX Research. Some notes:
- Mac users should use the "UNIX" files .tar.gz files.
- You only need to follow the sections labeled "Supported Platforms" and "Installation Instructions." The sections "Installing a CVX Professional License" and "Using CVX with Gurobi or MOSEK" are optional and not required for Software Tools Class . (See below for more details.)
- The instructions may suggest creating a "startup.m" file if you're on a UNIX system. (If you're on Windows, this may not happen.) This is a configuration file for MATLAB so that it will always know where to look for CVX functions. We also recommend adding one.
- Look in your "MATLAB" folder. It might be in a location like: "/Users/<your username>/Documents/MATLAB"
- If you already have a startup.m file, great! If not, create a blank document named startup.m in this location.
- Add the following code to your startup.m file
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx/structures
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx/lib
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx/functions
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx/commands
addpath <path to MATLAB folder>/MATLAB/cvx/builtins
replacing < path to MATLAB folder > as appopriate.
