Matlab Startup Folder

Startup Folder on Linux Platforms


On Linux platforms, the default startup folder is the folder from which you started MATLAB.

You can specify that the userpath be the startup folder by setting the value of the environment variable MATLAB_USE_USERPATH to 1 prior to startup. By default, userpath is userhome/Documents/MATLAB, and MATLAB automatically adds the userpath folder to the top of the search path upon startup. To specify a different folder for userpath, and for other options, use the MATLAB userpath function.
