What is the default directory support packages get installed to?

[MathWorks Support Team]

The default location of the root folder on each platform is the following, where R20XXy is your specific MATLAB release (e.g., R2023b):

For Windows, the default root directory is :

R2016b or Newer:

C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R20XXy

R2016a or Older:

C:\MATLAB\SupportPackage\R20XXy

 

For Linux, the default root directory is:

/home/$USER/Documents/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R20XXy

 

For macOS, the default root directory is

/Users/$USER/Documents/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R20XXy

 

Note: You may see folders appended with _n, for example, R2023b_1. This happens if a folder existed at the default location and was not empty for a new MATLAB installation. In this case, MATLAB sets the root folder location to the default location appended with _n.
