- On install and activate tab; select (or create) an appropriate license
- Navigate to download the license file and the file installation key
- Download the **license file** and put the file in the repository
- Copy and paste the **file installation key** in a plain text file

```
Then:
- [Download the matlab installer](https://www.mathworks.com/downloads)

- Set the download location to an empty directory called `matlab`
- Select the toolboxes you want.
After downloading; from the parent directory; do
```sh
tar cf matlab.tar matlab
```
to create the tarball. The folder here called `matlab` usually is given the download-time as it's name. Rename to `matlab` before compressing.
Move the matlab.tar to the repository.
Adjust the `pkgver` and `release` vars in the `PKGBUILD` to reflect current release.
Run `makepkg -si` to install.
