Re: Matlab in PelicanHPC

To make a customized version of PelicanHPC (in order to add the library MATLAB requires) you need to use the make_pelican script. To install MATLAB, sorry, I don't know how that works. MATLAB is proprietary software, with a procedure for controlling whether or not a license is held. Installing it on PelicanHPC would be a little complicated, I imagine. I recommend trying GNU Octave, which is already installed. It is very similar to MATLAB, AND it comes with the GPL. What could be better?! To use MATLAB on a cluster, I think that you would need a license for each node (maybe not if it's installed into /home/user, but the licensing may prevent a copy installed there from running on all the nodes). That would quickly get very expensive.
