Package Deployable Archives from Command Line

You can package deployable archives at the MATLAB^®prompt or your system prompt using either of these commands.

deploytool(MATLAB Compiler)invokes the Application Compiler app to execute a saved compiler project.
mcc(MATLAB Compiler)invokes theMATLAB Compiler™to create a deployable application at the command prompt.

Execute Compiler Projects with`deploytool`

Thedeploytoolcommand has two flags that invoke one of the compiler apps to package an already existing project without opening a window.

构建project_name— Invoke the correct compiler app to build the project but not generate an installer.
-packageproject_name— Invoke the correct compiler app to build the project and generate an installer.

For example,deploytool -package magicsquaregenerates the binary files defined by themagicsquareproject and packages them into an installer that you can distribute to others.

Package a Deployable Archive with`mcc`

Themcccommand invokes theMATLAB Compilerand provides fine-level control over the packaging of the deployable archive. It, however, cannot package the results in an installer.

To invoke the compiler to generate a deployable archive, use the-W CTF:component_nameflag withmcc. The-W CTF:component_nameflag creates a deployable archive calledcomponent_name.ctf.

For packaging deployable archives, you can also use the following options.

Option	Description
`-afilePath`	Add any files on the path to the generated binary.
`-doutFolder`	Specify the folder into which the results of packaging are written.
`class{className:mfilename...}`	Specify that an additional class is generated that includes methods for the listed MATLAB files.

Differences Between Compiler Apps and Command Line

You perform the same functions using the compiler apps, acompiler.buildfunction, or themcccommand-line interface. The interactive menus and dialog boxes used in the compiler apps buildmcccommands that are customized to your specification. As such, your MATLAB code is processed the same way as if you were packaging it usingmcc.

If you know the commands for the type of application you want to deploy and do not require an installer, it is faster to execute eithercompiler.buildormccthan go through the compiler app workflow.
