Add-Ons

R2026b
Find, install, and manage add-ons, including optional features, apps, packages, and more

Add-ons extend the capabilities of MATLAB® by providing additional functionality for specific tasks and applications, such as connecting to hardware devices, additional algorithms, and interactive apps. Add-ons are available from MathWorks® and from the global MATLAB user community and include products, apps, packages, and more.

To find, install, and manage add-ons interactively, use the Add-Ons panel. To find and install add-ons programmatically, use the MATLAB Package Manager.

You can also create your own add-ons, including apps and packages, and share them by submitting to File Exchange at MATLAB Central. Shared add-ons are discoverable in both the File Exchange and the Add-On Explorer.
