MATLAB Installation Guide for Windows

Installing MATLAB Help Files in a Separate Directory

In a network installation, you might prefer to install MATLAB Help files in a central location and make them available, over the network, to client systems. This significantly reduces the amount of disk space required on each client system in local client access configurations.

To install MATLAB Help on a central file server:

1. Run the installation procedure. At Step 5: Select the Products You Want to Install, select the Install documentation only option.

• Instead of running the installation procedure, you can also just copy the \help directory and all of its contents from the MathWorks documentation CD to a directory on your central file server. Copy the \jhelp directory if you need the Japanese language version of the help files.

2. Change the MATLAB Help preferences to specify the location of the Help files. Select Preferences from the MATLAB File menu and click Help to view the Help Preferences panel.
