You can add other toolboxes at a later date by running the installer again and selecting
the toolboxes you wish to add.

operating systems may need work out which version of MATLAB to download.
It is important that you select the version of MATLAB that matches the size of your
operating system.
On windows, hold down the key with the windows icon on it and press the break key.
If it does not say 64 bit operating system, it is 32 bit.
On Linux enter uname a
