A simple package manager for Matlab (inspired by pip). Downloads packages from Matlab Central's File Exchange, GitHub repositories, or any other url pointing to a .zip file.
Clone this repo and add it to your Matlab path (using addpath).
Install a single package
From Matlab File Exchange:
>> mpm export_fig http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-export-fig
From Github:
>> mpm matlab2tikz https://github.com/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz.git
Note that for Github repos you must add the '.git' to the url.
If the package already exists in the installation directory you can force mpm to overwrite it using -f.
>> mpm matlab2tikz https://github.com/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz.git
Package "matlab2tikz" already exists at /Users/mobeets/Documents/MATLAB/matlab2tikz
>> mpm matlab2tikz https://github.com/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz.git -f
Installed "matlab2tikz" to /Users/mobeets/Documents/MATLAB/matlab2tikz
Install multiple packages using a requirements file
>> mpm -r /Users/mobeets/example/requirements.txt
Specifying a requirements file lets you install multiple packages at once. Note that mpm requires the absolute path to your requirements file. which('requirements.txt') might help! The file should just be a list of package names and urls. See 'requirements-example.txt' for an example.
By default, mpm will install all Matlab packages to the directory specified by userpath. You can edit config.m to specify a custom installation directory.
If you restart Matlab, you'll want to call mpmpaths to re-add all the folders in the installation directory to your Matlab path. Better yet, just call mpmpaths from your Matlab startup script. (Note that mpmpaths won't add any subfolders of packages.)
