Install MATLAB Engine API for Python in Nondefault Locations
Build or Install in Nondefault Folders
By default, the installer builds the engine API for Python® in
the matlabroot\extern\engines\pythonPYTHONPATH variable.
Type the following commands at the operating system prompt.
Build in Nondefault Folder, Install in Default Folder
If you do not have write permission to build the engine in the MATLAB® folder,
use a nondefault folder, builddir.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py build --build-base="builddir" install
Build in Default Folder, Install in Nondefault Folder
If you do not have write permission to install the engine in
the default Python folder, use a nondefault folder, installdir.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py install --prefix="installdir"
To include installdir in the search
path for Python packages, add installdir to
the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
Build and Install in Nondefault Folders
If you do not have write permission for both the MATLAB folder
and the default Python folder, you can specify nondefault folders.
Use builddir for the build folder and installdir for
the install folder.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py build --build-base="builddir" install --prefix="installdir"
Install Engine in Your Home Folder
To install the engine API for your use only, use the --user option
to install to your home folder.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py install --user
When you install with --user, you do not
need to add your home folder to PYTHONPATH.
