Install a MATLAB Compiler SDK Python Package

With the Generated Installer
Without the Generated Installer

With the Generated Installer

The Library Compiler app generates an installer that installs the MATLAB^® Runtime and the files required to install the generated Python^® package. The app places the installer in the for_redistribution folder.

Copy the installer from the for_redistribution folder to the desired location.
Run the installer.
Note where the installer writes the Python package files.
When the installer finishes, open a command terminal in the folder containing the Python package files.
Run the Python setup script. To install to a location other than the default, consult "Installing Python Modules" in the official Python documentation.
```
python setup.py install
```
Set the required environment variables.
On Linux^®:
```
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:mcrroot/runtime/glnxa64:
       mcrroot/bin/glnxa64:mcrroot/sys/os/glnxa64:
       mcrroot/sys/opengl/lib/glnxa64
setenv XAPPLRESDIR mcrroot/v90/X11/app-defaults
```
On OS X:
```
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:mcrroot/runtime/maci64:
       mcrroot/sys/os/maci64:mcrroot/bin/maci64
```
Note
If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined on Linux, remove ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}: from the code to set the environment variables. Similarly, on OS X, remove ${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}: if DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined.
Note
mcrroot is the full path to the MATLAB Runtime installation.
Note
A command must be entered as a single line without white space between path components. Commands are wrapped here for readability.

Without the Generated Installer

If you already have the MATLAB Runtime installed, you can install the Python package.

Copy the contents of the for_redistribution_files_only folder to the desired location.
Open a command terminal in the folder containing the Python package files.
Run the Python setup script. To install to a location other than the default, consult "Installing Python Modules" in the official Python documentation.
```
python setup.py install
```

Set the required environment variables.

On Linux:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:mcrroot/runtime/glnxa64:
       mcrroot/bin/glnxa64:mcrroot/sys/os/glnxa64:
       mcrroot/sys/opengl/lib/glnxa64
setenv XAPPLRESDIR mcrroot/v90/X11/app-defaults

On OS X:

setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:mcrroot/runtime/maci64:
       mcrroot/sys/os/maci64:mcrroot/bin/maci64

Note

mcrroot is the full path to the MATLAB Runtime installation.
