By default, the installer builds the engine API for Python® in
the matlabroot\extern\engines\pythonPYTHONPATH variable.
Type the following commands at the operating system prompt.
If you do not have write permission to build the engine in the MATLAB® folder,
use a nondefault folder, builddir.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py build --build-base="builddir" install
If you do not have write permission to install the engine in
the default Python folder, use a nondefault folder, installdir.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py install --prefix="installdir"
To include installdir in the search
path for Python packages, add installdir to
the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
If you do not have write permission for both the MATLAB folder
and the default Python folder, you can specify nondefault folders.
Use builddir for the build folder and installdir for
the install folder.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py build --build-base="builddir" install --prefix="installdir"
To install the engine API for your use only, use the --user option
to install to your home folder.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py install --user
When you install with --user, you do not
need to add your home folder to PYTHONPATH.
