Standalone Applications

Create standalone applications from MATLAB® functions

Create a standalone application if you want to run MATLAB code on target machines that do not have MATLAB installed. Compile the MATLAB code by running the compiler.build.standaloneApplication or mcc command, or by using the Application Compiler app. Standalone applications run on Windows®, Linux®, and macOS corresponding to the platform on which they are generated.

To run standalone applications, install MATLAB Runtime on the target machine. For more information, see Install and Configure MATLAB Runtime.
