toolboxes and blocksets on your personal
computer (Windows, Linux, or macOS) by
downloading and running the MATLAB
interactive installer.
Before Installation
Before installing MATLAB, consider the
following:
To download the MATLAB installer, you must
have a MathWorks account.
If you have a MATLAB license through your
organization, use your organization’s email
address when creating or signing in to your
MathWorks account.
If you purchased a license or obtained a trial
version directly from the MathWorks Store,
sign in with the account used to acquire that
license.
Your computer must meet the system
requirements for MATLAB on your platform:
MATLAB System Requirements for
Windows
MATLAB System Requirements for Linux
MATLAB System Requirements for
macOS

Best Alternatives to MATLAB
(Free & Open Source)
Whether you're diving into physics, robotics, or data
analysis, here are some excellent free alternatives to
MATLAB:

1. GNU Octave
What it is: The closest open-source alternative to
MATLAB.
Pros:
Uses almost the same syntax as MATLAB.
Great for numerical computations and
algorithm prototyping.
Supports plotting and visualization.
Website: https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/
Why use it: If you're already familiar with MATLAB,
this is the smoothest transition.
2. Scilab
What it is: A scientific computing software used in
control systems, signal processing, and numerical
analysis.
Pros:
Has a toolbox similar to MATLAB's Simulink
called Xcos.
Good for physics, engineering, and math
modeling.
Website: https://www.scilab.org/
Why use it: Perfect for modeling dynamic systems
and simulations.
