A pretty basic question. The MATLAB is installed on a linux based server. I have windows 7 installed on my system. I want to access MATLAB, how do i do that?

Shall i install some virtual machine or is there a simpler way? Please help.

Thanks.

MATLAB will run on Windows 7, so you could just install it on your Win7 machine. The other more complicated route would be to run a VNC client on the Win7 box and a matching server on the Linux side. Then you can have access to the remote linux desktop from Win7.

    You can also run MATLAB over SSH, if you run it in headless mode. If you can do X-forwarding, you can even open the editor, command history, figure windows, etc. – MrAzzaman Oct 29 '13 at 11:39
  • The license bought by our company is installed linux based server and i have to get access it to it somehow from my windows machine in order either to install it or get access to it. I dont know how to access it first. :( – imagine2200 Oct 29 '13 at 12:49

    @imagine2200 Using matlab remotely via VNC is perfectly suitable. Colleagues told me that it's fine via X-forwarding too, but I did not try it myself though. – H.Muster Oct 29 '13 at 13:19
