How To Install octave-mcxlab on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install octave-mcxlab on Fedora 36.
What is octave-mcxlab
Monte Carlo eXtreme OpenCL (MCX-CL) is a fast photon transport simulation software for 3D heterogeneous turbid media, accelerated by GPUs. MCXLAB-CL is the native MEX version of MCX-CL for Matlab and GNU Octave. It contains the entire MCX-CL code into a MEX function which can be called directly inside Matlab or Octave. The input and output files in MCX are replaced by convenient in-memory struct variables in MCXLAB-CL, thus, making it much easier to use and interact. Matlab/Octave also provides convenient plotting and data analysis functions. With MCXLAB-CL, your analysis can be streamlined and speed-up without involving disk files.
We can use yum or dnf to install octave-mcxlab on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install octave-mcxlab.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh
After updating yum database, We can install octave-mcxlab using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install octave-mcxlab
Install octave-mcxlab on Fedora 36 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
After updating yum database, We can install octave-mcxlab using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install octave-mcxlab
How To Uninstall octave-mcxlab on Fedora 36
