Add-Ons

Find, run, and install add-ons, including optional features, apps, toolboxes, and support packages

Add-ons extend the capabilities of MATLAB®by providing additional functionality for specific tasks and applications, such as connecting to hardware devices, additional algorithms, and interactive apps. Add-ons are available from MathWorks®and from the global MATLAB user community and encompass a wide variety of resources, including products, apps, toolboxes, and support packages.

To find, install, and manage add-ons, seeGet and Manage Add-Ons. You also can create your own add-ons, including apps and toolboxes. For more information about creating apps, seePackage Apps From the MATLAB Toolstrip. For more information about creating toolboxes, seeCreate and Share Toolboxes.

To share the add-ons you create, submit them to theFile Exchange atMATLABCentral. The add-ons you share are discoverable in both the File Exchange and the Add-On Explorer.
