After You Install
For general information about starting MATLAB and other setup tasks you 
can perform after an installation, see “After You Install” on page 1-16. This 
section describes some post-installation tasks that are specific to concurrent 
installations, including:
• Reducing startup time for clients in remote client access configurations
• Installing MATLAB Help files on a central file server
Reducing Startup Time with Toolbox Path Caching
You can significantly reduce MATLAB startup time by using the MATLAB 
toolbox path cache. The toolbox path cache stores search path information for 
all toolbox directories under the MATLAB root directory. 
This can be especially useful in a remote access client installation, where users 
access MATLAB over a network server. (See “Remote Client Access 
Configuration” on page 2-3 for more information.) During startup, MATLAB 
obtains path data from the cache rather than by reading it from the remote file 
system. 
To use toolbox path caching, select Preferences from the MATLAB File menu. 
On the Preferences dialog box, select the General preferences panel and click 
the Enable toolbox cache check box. To learn more about toolbox path 
caching, click the Help button in the Preferences dialog box.
Note If you install additional toolboxes, you must regenerate the toolbox 
path cache by repeating the steps described above.
Installing MATLAB Help Files in a Separate Directory
In a concurrent installation, you may prefer to install MATLAB Help files in a 
central location and make them available, over the network, to client systems. 
This significantly reduces the amount of disk space required on each client 
system in local client access configurations.
