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 to the location of that
folder.
Options for building and installing the engine API follow, along with the commands to enter at the operating system prompt.
Build in Nondefault Folder and Install in Default Folder
If you do not have write permission to build the engine in the MATLAB® folder, then use a nondefault folder,
builddir.
cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python" python setup.py build --build-base="builddir" install
Build in Default Folder and Install in Nondefault Folder
If you do not have write permission to install the engine in the default
Python folder, then 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, then 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 in 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.
