Installation support packages

[toladnertum]

Dear MPM Team,

I am trying to install Matlab and several products within docker using the attached docker file.

All products are installed successfully except the "Deep_Learning_Toolbox_Converter_for_ONNX_Model_Format' support package. If I try to install it individually, I get the following error:

Support packages will be installed to: /home/matlab/Documents/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R2023b
Error: Download failed. Check the network connection and retry.
MPM Installation Failure. See below for more information:
(Jan 11, 2024 10:09:09) Starting download of product meta data
(Jan 11, 2024 10:09:09) Finished downloading product meta data

i met the same question too!!

Hi,

Thank you for raising this issue, and apologies for the delayed reply.

Can you let me know the exact build command you are using to build with the above Dockerfile? Is it docker build ., or do you pass in any build arguments?

Just to clarify, when you build using the above Dockerfile, the build completes successfully and everything except Deep_Learning_Toolbox_Converter_for_ONNX_Model_Format is installed, is that correct? Can you let me know the output of matlabshared.supportpkg.getInstalled?

Thank you, Philip

I fixed my issue.

The startup file was modified by a later toolbox installation (via tbxmanager). This changed the userpath, which in turn lost the information about the installed support packages.

Hi toladnertum,

Thank you for the update - glad your issue was resolved!

As a sidenote, the Fatal Engine Exception: no components to install error that you saw may have been due to trying to install the support package again, when it was already installed. This error is generic and could be made more helpful - this has been brought to the attention of the relevant team.

Thanks, Philip
