Getting Started

Prerequisites

Run these three lines in the MATLAB Command Window:

websave('tbxmanager.m', 'https://tbxmanager.com/tbxmanager.m');
tbxmanager
savepath

This downloads the package manager, initializes its storage directory (~/.tbxmanager/), and saves the MATLAB path.

Add this line to your startup.m file so installed packages are available every time MATLAB starts:

tbxmanager restorepath

To find or create your startup.m:

edit(fullfile(userpath, 'startup.m'))

tbxmanager install mpt

This resolves dependencies, downloads archives, verifies SHA256 integrity, and adds everything to your MATLAB path.

tbxmanager search optimization

tbxmanager list

Shows a table with package names, installed versions, latest available versions, and enabled status.

% Update all
tbxmanager update

% Update a specific package
tbxmanager update mpt

tbxmanager uninstall mpt

For reproducible projects, create a tbxmanager.json in your project root:

tbxmanager init

This creates a template. Edit it to declare your dependencies:

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "matlab": ">=R2022a",
  "dependencies": {
    "mpt": ">=3.0",
    "cddmex": ">=1.0"
  }
}

Then generate a lockfile:

tbxmanager lock

Team members clone your repo and run:

tbxmanager sync

This installs the exact versions from tbxmanager.lock, ensuring identical environments.

Keep tbxmanager itself up to date:

tbxmanager selfupdate
