Install Request: MATLAB R2023a [IN05829437] [IN06128655]

[balston]

Has useful additional functionality over R2021a which is the latest version currently installed on the clusters.

As ARC are no longer responsible for the UCL wide MATLAB license manager, we will need to check that it has been updated to support MATLAB R2023a before doing this.

[balston]

Try and do this in Sprint 4.3

[balston]

I have downloaded the MATLAB R2023a Linux installer archive and copied it to Myriad in:

~ccspapp/Software/Matlab/matlab_R2023a_glnxa64.zip

[balston]

I'm going to try and use the silent install method so first unpack the archive in a new directory:

mkdir R2023a_install
cd R2023a_install
unzip -x ../matlab_R2023a_glnxa64.zip

copied the template installer_input.txt file to edit for Myriad:

cp installer_input.txt ../installer_input_R2023a_Myriad.txt

The edits contain information specific to the UCL MATLAB license so will not be described here.

[balston]

OK ready to try the installation out from ccasapp using:

cd Software/Matlab/R2023a_install
./install -inputFile ../installer_input_R2023a_Myriad.txt

[balston]

first attempt failed with:

[balston]

Ah the archives folder only contains the LM software not the rest of MATLAB so need to download this first.

[balston]

I'm downloading the required product archives to my iMac using the MATLAB GUI installer in download only mode.

[balston]

It includes everything including the MATLAB Parallel Server. Total size 10.5 GB - might take a while.

[balston]

Download to my iMac has finished. I will upload to Myriad tomorrow.

[balston]

I'm uploading the full installer archives to Myriad now:

scp -r R2023a [email protected]:Scratch/Software/MATLAB/

[balston]

All the MATLAB installer files should be on Myriad now ready to retry the silent installation.

[balston]

Now running:

cd ~/Scrarch/Software/MATLAB/R2023a/2023_08_30_18_10_46/
./install -inputFile ~/Software/Matlab/installer_input_R2023a_Myriad.txt

[balston]

The installer seems to be running correctly this time.

[balston]

The installer had finished with:

so has worked. MATLAB and UCL's licensed toolboxes have been installed. Now need to run the installer with another input file with the FIK for MATLAB Parallel Server.

[balston]

Now running:

./install -inputFile ~/Software/Matlab/installer_input_R2023a_MPS_Myriad.txt

[balston]

Looks like it has worked:

Next produce an updated module file to test out the basic MATLAB installation.

[balston]

Module file on Myriad. Use module commands:

module load xorg-utils/X11R7.7
module load matlab/full/r2023a/9.14

Will now try running some simple test jobs before installing the remote job submission and MPS support.

[balston]

I'm installing R2023a on my iMac so I can download the Grid Engine support files.

I've also submitted a simple test job.

[balston]

My test job has worked.

[balston]

Grid Engine support scripts dowloaded to Myriad. Will now need to be configured for our setup.
