Select a Starter Environment

The first thing to do when setting up the computation environment is to select a starter environment, which is also called the base image. The Environment Editor lists all the base images available and allows you to filter them by the programming language and by free text.

Click Select to choose the base image.

Cloud Workstation for MATLAB is a MATLAB interface that requires specific licenses and configurations set up in the MATLAB starter environment. To use the Matlab Cloud Workstation, you must choose MATLAB as your starter environment.

Since MATLAB is the product of MathWorks, this feature is available upon request (please contact the admin). You need a MATLAB credential for executing Reproducible Run and entering the Cloud Workstation. Visit this article for more details.
