Add a MATLAB App

This tutorial will walk you through creating an interactive MATLAB app that your users will use to launch a MATLAB within a batch job on a compute node. MATLAB will be launched within the context of an XFCE desktop to provide a window manager and terminal. The user will then be able to connect to the application through their browser and take advantage of the resources provided within the batch job.

Danger

Confirm that you have walked through the Setup Interactive Apps instructions for interactive apps as well as Enable Interactive Desktop before continuing on.
