How much disk space do the MATLAB & Simulink products require?

I would like to know how much disk space MATLAB products take up.

You can view the system requirements and the disk usage of MATLAB in the link below:

The minimum hardware requirements are the same for the Student and Professional licenses. For R2016b on Windows, those are:

• Any Intel or AMD x86-64 processor
• disk: 2 GB for MATLAB only, 4–6 GB for a typical installation
• memory: 2 GB, or 4 GB if you use Simulink

These are the minimum. There are some additional graphics and CPU recommendations.

An actual answer to this question (for Mac R2019a):

MATLAB 9.6 = 4095 MB

Simulink 9.3 = 6335 MB

Image Processing Toolbox 10.4 = 2877 MB

Computer Vision Toolbox 9.0 = 2030 MB

Signal Processing Toolbox 8.2 = 1867 MB

Communications Toolbox 7.1 = 1481 MB

Antenna Toolbox 4.0 = 1008 MB

Parallel Computing Toolbox 7.0 = 950 MB

Deep Learning Toolbox 12.1 = 804 MB

Control System Toolbox 10.6 = 796 MB

Symbolic Math Toolbox 8.3 = 770 MB

Simscape Multibody 6.1 = 723 MB

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox 11.5 = 704 MB

MATLAB Compiler 7.0.1 = 602 MB

Bioinformatics Toolbox 4.12 = 541 MB

Automated Driving Toolbox 2.0 = 521 MB

Mapping Toolbox 4.8 = 515 MB

Full listing in the attached spreadsheet. Hope this helps others.

[Walter Roberson]

These sizes are approximate. Some of the toolboxes install items that are shared by multiple products, and some of the toolboxes install examples that are arguably for a different toolbox

(for example an Automated Driving example might involve Computer Vision and Deep Learning, and might be more an example of an application in the topic of Automated Driving without using any functionality from Automated Driving Toolbox, so it becomes debatable which toolbox the example should be stored against.)

[Albert R. Gnadt]

Agreed – the exact size changes somewhat based on which other toolboxes are installed, but these are nominally correct. I found them by selecting each toolbox 1 by 1 and looking at the increase in the total installation size.
