Some questions from beginners #162

Hi, I just finnished the installation of matlab kernel for jupyter and jupyterlab. But I do have some questions which are not solved from documentations.

  1. What's the difference between kernel matlab and matlab(connection)? image

  2. How could I use those toolboxs downloaded from the internet? Like yalmip, cvx and so on.

  3. Is there a language server for matlab kernel? Cause lsp has problem detecting the language. image

Hi @Betristor,

  1. matlab(connection) is used to connect to an already-running Matlab, while matlab starts a new Matlab process.
  2. Installed toolboxes should work the same as they would if you launched Matlab
  3. I don't believe there is a Language Server for matlab yet: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/

Thanks for your reply! I tried to change the kernel type between matlab(connection) and matlab and each time the kernel will initiate as I changed, which means they could not be alternatives for the other. And I do check the list of current existing language server protocols and no sight of matlab. But I think it's a briliant idea to develop one for matlab for this kernel offers a convenient way to interact with matlab on browser without annoying GUI on ubuntu server.
