HTCondorWiki: Running Matlab

 
 For executables compiled with the Matlab Compiler, instead of the full Matlab install, you will need the MCR, the Matlab Compiler Runtime, but the general techniques are the same.
 
-If you install Condor locally on each computer, it is recommended to place Matlab in the same location on each computer.  That way individual jobs can easily find it.  If Condor will be in different locations on each computer, you can set up {link:http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.6/3_3Configuration.html#param:SubsysAttrs STARTD_ATTRS} to advertise the correct location, then the job can use a {link:http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.6/condor_submit.html#73792 $$} expression to find it.  For example, your configuration file might say:
