CS346: Instructions for downloading Matlab
(Authors: Eric Aaron and Randy Downer, Feb. 2020)
=================================================

For CS346, you can download Matlab under Colby's Classroom License and use
it on your own computer! (See your prof. about restrictions due to that 
license, but be assured none of the restrictions are relevant for your work
in CS346.) You must have a Colby IP address for this Matlab download.

The Matlab installer can be found on the Colby "filer" filesystem. On a Mac
machine, go to "Connect to Server" and connect with 

smb://filer.colby.edu/Software

on a Windows machine, get a command prompt ("Run") and connect with

//filer.colby.edu/Software

similar to how you've done that in previous classes.

When that directory opens for you, go to either the Windows or Macintosh
directory and find the MATLAB directory. Once there...

- For the Windows version, open the README file and follow the instructions
(which are a bit sparse). You'll need the installation key that's there 
(though not the activation key). To find the installer to run, go to the 
R2018a directory and run the "setup" application.

- For the Mac version, open the README file and follow the instructions 
(which are a bit sparse). Download the Matlab2018b_licensed_64bits.pkg file 
to your desktop and run it; it should do the install from there. The 
installation key is given in the README file.
