Can one of you please help me with steps for how to run matlab on a compute node from a terminal? Right now all I do is point to the srun/salloc section of Running Jobs, but I think we should have step-by-step instructions.

Working in the 'mathworks' branch, in docs/source/user_guide/software.rst

Here's the RTD link to the matlab section: https://docs.ncsa.illinois.edu/systems/delta/en/mathworks/user_guide/software.html#matlab

matlab -nodisplay for command line and just matlab for the GUI (you have to x11 forwarding enabled in your ssh connection to delta)

Here is an actual session I just ran on delta.
