Before you can integrate MATLAB functions into external applications, you need to compile them for the target language. MATLAB Compiler SDK™ includes two apps and a command-line compiler for this purpose. The apps guide you in specifying functions to compile and in creating an installer. Target-language developers install the compiled code on the development system, along with the MATLAB Runtime, which is necessary to run the code. At the command-line, you can compile the MATLAB functions into a binary package the target language developer uses in developing their applications.

How Does MATLAB Deploy Functions?
To deploy MATLAB functions, the compiler performs these tasks:
Writing MATLAB code that is sure to compile
MATLAB code that you want to deploy often carries state—a specific data value in a program or program variable.
