How to launch an instance with Matlab pre-installed
Matlab Images¶
Bug
- is this really up to date?
- what contact to share?
We offer two images with Matlab pre-installed:
- UoA-Server2012-MATLAB: Windows Server 2012, Matlab 2018b
- UoA-Ubuntu1604-MATLAB: Ubuntu Linux 1604, Matlab 2017b
To find these images, login to Nectar Dashboard via Tuakiri. Browse to Project > Compute > Images as shown in the picture below, and enter Matlab in the search box. If there are multiple images, please always choose the latest one, and click the "Launch" button to start the new instance wizard.
Note: You might also find some other community Matlab images, please don't use them and use those start with UoA. If you can not find these images, please contact us and we'll grant you access.
Launch a VM with the image, and you'll be able to use Matlab when the VM is active.
Matlab on Linux VMs¶
You can access the GUI of the Matlab instance via x2go client. Please follow this article to install x2go client.
In x2go client, create a new session, and make sure the following items are correctly configured: - Host: the IP address of your VM. - Login: enter ubuntu. - SSH port: enter 22. - Use RSA/DSA key for ssh connection: enter the path of your private key. - Session type: select MATE from the dropdown menu.
Then, connect with the new session, you should be able to see the graphical user interface of you GPU VM.
