## Specify Installation Options

You can specify several installation options, depending on which platform you are installing:

Windows

On Windows®, the Installation Options dialog box offers you the option to put shortcuts for starting MATLAB® in the Start menu and on the desktop.

After selecting installation options, click Next to proceed with the installation.

Linux

On Linux systems, you can specify whether you want to create symbolic links to the `matlab` and`mex` scripts. Specify a folder to which you have write access and that is common to all your user's paths, such as `/usr/local/bin` .

After selecting installation options, click Next to proceed with the installation.
