Matlab on ARM processor?

I have been having difficulties when attempting to install MATLAB on my computer. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Book2 with a 64-bit OS (Windows 10).

When trying to open the .exe, I get this message: "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."

Is it possible that the issue is my ARM-based processor? Is there another version of the software that I can try?

Thanks,

Brennan

It is my suspicion that the .exe installer is a blob that has been compiled for amd64/x86 64-bit processors. Your ARM processor requires the binary to be compiled for aarch64. I do not know if current Matlab build releases support this. The probably will in a revision or two due to pressure from fortcoming Apple Silicon (ARM) Mac devices.

See: this discussion

See: this question also, probably still relevant.

Edit: it looks like neither Matlab nor GNU Octave will work on your device for the time being. for now you might have to do the work in something like Python if that device is your only option.

Hi Brennan,

MATLAB supports Apple silicon processors in combination with macOS, other ARM processors are not supported.

Additionaly, "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher." error can also occur when a 64 bit executable is run on a 32 bit system. You can refer to the following discussion for the same:
