Introduction to Matlab: Accessing Matlab at Mason • There are several ways to get to Matlab: • Log in remotely, using VCL for Windows or Mac • (using these instructions, or those found at: • http://cds130.org/vcl#Virtual_Computing_Lab_Login_Guide) • Log in remotely, using CygWin on Windows • Log in remotely, using Linux (SSH) • Log in locally, at the Johnson Center • Log in locally, at Innovation Hall • Purchase it at Patriot Computers ($109)
Introduction to Matlab: Accessing Matlab at Mason • We’ll explain the first three, since they involve remote access. On campus access is easy through any workstation (Matlab appears in the list of available software). Of course, if you wish to purchase Matlab, then you’ll have your own copy to work with, on your own computer. • Log in remotely, using VCL for Windows or Mac • (using these instructions, or those found at: • http://cds130.org/vcl#Virtual_Computing_Lab_Login_Guide) • Log in remotely, using CygWin on Windows • Log in remotely, using Linux (SSH)
Introduction to Matlab: Accessing Matlab at Mason • Best help sources: Sooroutinely accesses Matlab using VCL on Windows, and Samantha accesses Matlab using VCL on a Mac. Dr. Marr has accessed Matlab from home using Cygwin on Windows and also using ssh on Linux. • Log in remotely, using VCL for Windows or Mac • (using these instructions, or those found at: • http://cds130.org/vcl#Virtual_Computing_Lab_Login_Guide) • Log in remotely, using CygWin on Windows • Log in remotely, using Linux (SSH)
