Compiling Your MATLAB Code If you do not plan to use the compiled M-code approach, skip this section and continue with Distributing Your MATLAB Code.

To check that MATLAB is on your path: 1. Open a DOS window. 2. Type matlab and press Enter. If the MATLAB application starts, MATLAB is on your path.

On Windows, to run the MCRInstaller: 1. Copy <matlabroot>\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32\MRCInstaller.exe to the server machine. 2. Run MCRInstal

The chmod line sets the executable permission on the executable file; by default, the GenePattern server does not set this permission for uploaded fil
