== Installation ==

Matlab due to it's installation method and licensing is really problematic to package into nixpkgs[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/56887], that is why the only way to install it is to use some imperative way (to install it outside the nix store).

== Imperative installation without flakes ==

These instructions are based on '''tviti'''[https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/aunuu/pkgs/matlab] GitHub repository. It is also worth to look at '''doronbehar'''[https://gitlab.com/doronbehar/nix-matlab] GitLab repository which is based on '''nix flakes'''[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes].

Firstly you need to download zipped Matlab archive for Linux from the official webpage. Then create a folder for the installation files and unzip the archive into that folder via <code>unzip -X -K</code> command.

Then you will need <code>shell.nix</code> file that will create proper environment. This shell should use <code>buildFHSUserEnv</code> function and should contain all the relevant packages. Personally I have used tviti[https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/aunuu/pkgs/matlab] imperative Matlab shell.

{{Tip|In case you also want to use tviti work, clone his repo and get into pkgs/matlab. Then run <code>nix-shell</code> and <code>matlab-shell</code> to get into installation environment. More info can be found in his repo[https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/aunuu/pkgs/matlab]}}

Get into the proper environment via <code>nix-shell</code>. Then you can safely start Matlab installer by running <code>./install</code> script in the Matlab installation folder. It is strongly preferred to install Matlab somewhere in the user home folder.

After successful installation, you should add Matlab do your <code>configuration.nix</code> file. Personally I have used modified tvitii[https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/aunuu/pkgs/matlab] files. I have simply switched <code>runPath</code> to the path of freshly installed Matlab folder. Then in my configuration.nix I have used his matlab folder like so:
<pre>
...
let
tviti-matlab = pkgs.callPackage ./matlab { };
...
in {
...
environment.systemPackages = [ ... tviti-matlab.matlab ... ];
...
</pre>

{{Evaluate}}

Now you should have <code>matlab</code> in your path and be able to run it via <code>matlab</code> command.

== Weird java errors ==

In case you have java errors, and you are using tvitii[https://github.com/tviti/nix-cfg/tree/master/pkgs/matlab] derivation, you may need to modify <code>matlab.nix</code> to something like this:
<pre>
{ common, buildFHSUserEnv }:
buildFHSUserEnv {
name = "matlab";

targetPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; common.targetPkgs pkgs;

runScript = "${common.runPath}/bin/matlab";
}
</pre>

== Imperative installation with flakes ==
