Grove
The new grove currently runs MATLAB version 7.7
MATLAB is a high performance language for technical
computing with graphics features. It integrates computation,
visualization and programming in an easy to use environment where
problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation
and assists in preparing presentation graphics.
MATLAB 7.7 is installed on matlab.grove.ufl.edu. (The previous Grove had version 5.) For each of the toolkits on the old grove there is a corresponding toolkit on matlab.grove.ufl.edu.
Extensive documentation is available online in your MATLAB session. If you have the MATLAB graphical window open, click on the Help button. If you have a text-mode session, type "help" and press Enter.
You will need to connect to matlab.grove.ufl.edu with this secure information.
Using an ssh client, (such as putty), connect to matlab.grove.ufl.edu.To run MATLAB on your Grove account using a graphical interface:
- On a Windows PC --
- If you already have an X client (such as X-Win32) configure it to use an ssh connection to Grove and type matlab at the command prompt.
- If you do NOT have an X client on your PC and you want to run MATLAB on Grove in graphical mode, we suggest you use cygwin/X and putty to connect to matlab.grove.ufl.edu. Both of these products are free and open source.
- Once you have the client installed, start a terminal session.
At the command prompt on your local machine:
ssh -X Groveusername@matlab.grove.ufl.edu - On Grove, at the command prompt type: matlab
- On a Mac --
- In the labs, at the command prompt: ssh -X Groveusername@matlab.grove.ufl.edu
- Under 10.5 from home, X support is a checkbox at install time.
Under 10.4, you must select the X client on the CD that came with your Mac (by default this is NOT automatically installed).
- Once you have the client installed, start a terminal session.
At the command prompt on your local machine:
ssh -X Groveusername@matlab.grove.ufl.edu - On Grove, at the command prompt type: matlab
- On a Linux machine you'll already have SSH and X installed
- start a terminal session.
- At the command prompt on your local machine:
ssh -X Groveusername@matlab.grove.ufl.edu - On Grove, at the command prompt type: matlab
To run MATLAB on your Grove account in command line mode:
- At the command prompt on matlab.grove.ufl.edu type: matlab. If MATLAB can't establish a graphical connection, it will complain and fall back to command-line interactive mode.
- The command prompt for MATLAB is a double angle-bracket: >>
- Type quit to exit command-line interactive mode.
