Create a standalone application if you want to run MATLAB code
on target machines that do not have MATLAB installed. Compile
the MATLAB code by using the Application
Compiler app or by running the mcc command.
To run standalone applications, install the MATLAB Runtime. For more information, see Install and Configure the MATLAB Runtime. Standalone applications run on Windows, Linux®, and Mac.
| Application Compiler | Package MATLAB programs for deployment as standalone applications |
applicationCompiler | Build and package functions into standalone applications |
mcc | Compile MATLAB functions for deployment |
deploytool | Compile and package functions for external deployment |
isdeployed | Determine whether code is running in deployed or MATLAB mode |
ismcc | Test if code is running during compilation process (using mcc) |
mcrversion | Determine version of installed MATLAB Runtime |
%#function | Pragma to help MATLAB Compiler locate functions called through feval, eval, Handle Graphics callback, or objects loaded from MAT-files |
Package Standalone Application with Application Compiler App
The Standalone Compiler App is a graphical tool for compiling and packaging standalone applications.

Integrate Application with Mac OS X Finder
Macintosh graphical applications, launched through the Mac OS X finder utility, require additional configuration if MATLAB software or the MATLAB Runtime were not installed in default locations.
Differences Between Compiler Apps and Command Line
You perform the same functions using either the compiler apps
or the mcc command-line interface.

you to load shared library into MATLAB.
Basics about the dependency analysis function
Dependency Analysis Function and User Interaction with the Compilation Path
MATLAB Compiler uses the MATLAB search path to analyze dependencies.
MEX-Files, DLLs, or Shared Libraries
How the dependency function handles MEX-files, DLLs, and shared libraries
You typically compile your MATLAB code on a development machine, test the resulting executable on that machine, and deploy the executable and MATLAB Runtime to a test or customer machine without MATLAB.
After you have successfully compiled your application, the next step is to test it on a development machine and deploy it on a target machine.
