# Matlab

!!! note
    This only works on RHEL8/9 and above

Make the central Matlab installation available on the system by setting in Hiera:

```yaml
# make Matlab available on the system
matlab::enable: true
```

Optional (not recommended) - Setting a specific version of Matlab as default other than the global default:

```yaml
# configure a specific Matlab version other than the default
matlab::version: '2025a'
```
