Watch the Demo

Any Intel or AMD x86-64 processor; four logical cores with AVX2 support is recommended.

Minimum of 4 GB (8 GB recommended). For Parallel Computing or Polyspace, aim for 4 GB per core.

Before starting, ensure your hardware meets these standards:

2.7 GB for the base program only; a typical installation with common toolboxes requires 4–6 GB , while a full installation can reach 23 GB . Step-by-Step Installation Guide MATLAB 2018b Installation Guide | PDF - Scribd

MATLAB R2018b remains a popular version for engineers and researchers due to its stable toolboxes and specific hardware compatibility. Installing it requires a MathWorks account and an active license.

Windows 10/7 SP1, macOS Mojave (10.14) to Sierra (10.12), or various Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04/18.04).

Why Is It Only $99?

Direct pricing. No marketing overhead. No subscriptions. Just great software.
