Can I extract product files from the ISO?

I cannot transfer the full ISO Image to one of my computers because the image size is too large. I want to extract a set number of products from the ISO to make a smaller installation file.

Starting with R2022b, you can use the extract_product_files_from_iso.exe command line tool to extract a subset of MathWorks products from an ISO image on Windows and Linux.

1) Locate the product file extraction script

Mount your ISO Image and navigate to the following location:

Windows

<mounted-ISO>\bin\win64\extract_product_files_from_iso.exe

Linux

<mounted-ISO>/bin/glnxa64/extract_product_files_from_iso

If you need instructions on mounting your ISO Image, refer to the

How do I install MathWorks products using an ISO image?

article for platform-specific instructions.

2) Run the extract_product_file_from_iso script

The extract_product_file_from_iso has four arguments:

• -h [ --help ]
  • This is an optional argument that displays a help menu.
• -s [ --source ]
  • Full path to the mounted ISO Image.
• -d [ --dest ]
  • Full path to the destination. If the location is a pre-existing folder, the folder must be empty. If the folder does not exist, the extractor will create the folder.
• -p [ --products ]
  • The list of products you would like to extract. The script uses the product name list at the bottom of the installer_input.txt, which is in the main directory of your mounted ISO Image. Separate each product with a space.
  • The products are case-sensitive and should match the product listed in the installer_input.txt exactly.

Example usage:

Windows

1) Open the Command Prompt:

1. Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
2. Type 'cmd' into the search box.
3. Open the Command Prompt.

2) Sample script:

>D:\bin\win64\extract_product_files_from_iso.exe --source D:\ --dest C:\TEMP\Extracted_Files --products MATLAB Deep_Learning_Toolbox

Linux

1) Launch Terminal.

2) Sample Script:

$'/media/username/R2022b_ISO/bin/glnxa64/extract_product_files_from_iso' -s '/media/username/R2022b_ISO' -d /home/username/R2022b_Extracted_Files -p MATLAB Deep_Learning_Toolbox

Please note: the product extractor does not verify that product dependencies are met. Verify that you extract the required products along with your desired product by visiting the Add-On Product Requirement page here.
