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.
This has been slightly edited to suite the style used in the dcrg repositories.
Download/clone this repo and add it to your Matlab path. To persevre this after install please add the following two line to you startup.m script. Now try the following:
pim install [package-name]: install package by namepim uninstall [package-name]: remove package, if installedpim freeze: lists all packages currently installedpim init: adds all installed packages to path (run when Matlab starts up)pim clear: clears all installed packages
Install (searches FileExchange and Github):
>> pim install export_fig
When installing, pim checks for a file in the package called install.m, which it will run after confirming (or add --force to auto-confirm). It also checks for a file called pathlist.txt which tells it which paths (if any) to add.
Install a Github release (by tag, branch, or commit)
By tag:
>> pim install matlab2tikz -t 1.0.0
By branch:
>> pim install matlab2tikz -t develop
By commit:
>> pim install matlab2tikz -t ca56d9f
Uninstall
>> pim uninstall matlab2tikz
When uninstalling, pim checks for a file in the package called uninstall.m, which it will run after confirming (or add --force to auto-confirm).
Search without installing:
>> pim search export_fig
Install from a url:
>> pim install covidx -u https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/76213-covidx
OR:
>> pim install export_fig -u https://github.com/altmany/export_fig.git
(Note that when specifying Github repo urls you must add the '.git' to the url.)
Install local package:
>> pim install my_package -u path/to/package --local
The above will copy path/to/package into the default install directory. To skip the copy, add -e to the above command.
Overwrite existing packages:
>> pim install matlab2tikz --force
Install/uninstall packages in a specific directory:
>> pim install matlab2tikz -d /Users/mobeets/mypath
Note that the default installation directory is pim-packages/.
>> pim install -i /Users/mobeets/example/requirements.txt
Specifying a requirements file lets you install or search for multiple packages at once. See 'requirements-example.txt' for an example. Make sure to provide an absolute path to the file!
To automatically confirm installation without being prompted, set --force.
By default, pim installs all Matlab packages to the directory pim-packages/. (You can edit pim_config.m to specify a custom default installation directory.)
If you restart Matlab, you'll want to run pim init to re-add all the folders in the installation directory to your Matlab path. Better yet, just run pim init from your Matlab startup script.
Because there's no standard directory structure for a Matlab package, automatically adding paths can get a bit messy. When pip downloads a package, it adds a single folder within that package to your Matlab path. If there are no *.m files in the package's base directory, it looks in folders called 'bin', 'src', 'lib', or 'code' instead. You can specify the name of an internal directory by passing in an -n or internaldir argument. To install a package without modifying any s, set --nos. Or to add all subfolders in a package to the , set --alls.
pim keeps track of the packages it's downloaded in a file called pim.mat, within each installation directory.
pim should work cross-platform on versions Matlab 2014b and later.
