How to run Cantera with Matlab

Hello,

I am trying to use Cantera with Matlab to solve a chemical recation problem. However, I can't get the Cantera examples to work in matlab.

Such as,

clear;
clc;

help equil;
if nargin == 1
   gas = g;
else
   gas = IdealGasMix('gri30.cti');
end
nsp = nSpecies(gas);
phi = [];

Matlab gives me an error when i try to use IdealGasMix('gri30.cti'). I've added the Cantera toolbox to the subfolders and followed the installation instructions on the Cantera website but can't seem to solve this issue.

Any advice?

What is the error you get regarding IdealGasMix?

[Walter Roberson]

nargin cannot be used with scripts in any recent version of MATLAB -- not since 2013 or so.

If this is part of a function, then there should not be any clear call in it.

This is the error that populates when I try to run the code, attached

[Walter Roberson]

It cannot find cantera.py

Do you know how I can go about mapping it correctly so it can find Cantera?
