I cant find GA Optimization in 2018 Matlab

I downloaded the new version of 2018 MATLAB and I cant find GA optimization as before. Would you please help.

[Cesar Antonio Lopez Segura]

In new version the command is:

options = optimoptions('ga','Param1', value1, 'Param2', value2, ...);

Dear Cesar, Thanks for your answer.

I had this before and how is it different now?

if true
 options          = optimoptions('ga','PlotFcn',@gaplotbestf,'UseParallel',true);
fun              = @(x)Portfolio_Function_TOPT(x,Pi,Pa,G,d,lifetime,Demand,BasePrice,HighPrice(i),LowPrice,dis_rate_lamda,Geo,Wells_cost,Wells_rate,DStage,Operating_Fields); 
startTime        = tic;
[xGA,fval]       = ga(fun,nvars,[],[],[],[],lowbond,upbond,[],[],options);
time_ga_parallel = toc(startTime);

end

I get this when I run my code;

Error using optimoptions (line 124) Invalid solver specified. Provide a solver name or handle (such as 'fmincon' or @fminunc). Type DOC OPTIMOPTIONS for a list of solvers.

Please note, it was working with the old version.

What is the result of using the

ver

command?

Run it from a script or in your Command Window.

The ga (link) function is part of the Global Optimization Toolbox.

I do not see the Global Optimization Toolbox listed in the result of your ver call.

If you have a license for it, you need to download it and install it.

As always, my pleasure.
