How can I determine what add-ons I have installed?

I would like to know what products and other toolboxes are installed into my installation of MATLAB, and also what functions are provided with the toolboxes.

Using the Add-On Manager 

The following answer applies to MATLAB version R2015b or later only. 

View and manage all installed add-ons using the Add-On Manager.  

To open the Add-On Manager: 

1. In MATLAB, go to the Home tab. 

2. Select Add-Ons > Manage Add-Ons. 

MATLAB displays a list of MathWorks products, toolboxes, and add-ons installed on your machine. 

To view the function list for an add-on: 

1. Select the add-on in the Add-On Manager. 

2. In the options menu on the right of the add-on, select View in Add-On Explorer. The Functions tab shows the list of functions included with the add-on. 

Using the Command Line  

The following answer applies to MATLAB version R2017b or later only.

To produce a list of installed Community add-ons, use the 'matlab.addons.installedAddons' command:

The following answer applies to all versions of MATLAB. 

To produce a list of installed MathWorks products and add-ons, use the 'ver' command:

To produce a list of the functions available in MATLAB, use the 'help' function:

@Richard Zapor ver won't do it as I explained in your Answer below:

ver

This function will give summary of Matlab installed along with Toolboxes

[Image Analyst]

Yes, but not "Add-ons" like the question said. ver gives only MATLAB version and toolboxes, not other Add-ons like you get from the Add-ons manager. For example I have the "Deep Learning Toolbox Model for Alexnet Network" installed (through the Add-on manager), yet it does not show up when I type ver.

The only ways to see what Toolboxes and Add-ons you have installed is to use the Add-On Manager on the Home tab of the tool ribbon, OR programmatically on the command line,as the Mathworks answer also showed.

A programmatic way to list all user-installed toolboxes, available since R2016a. Note, these are not the same as MATLAB Toolboxes that appear in the ver command.

toolboxes = matlab.addons.toolbox.installedToolboxes

Returns a 1xn structure array

toolboxes =

1×2 struct array with fields:

Name

Version

Guid

List toolbox names

tbnames = {toolboxes.Name}'

tbnames =

2×1 cell array

{'Crystal ball toolbox' }

{'Fix my bugs toolbox' }
