I would prefer using Matlab in a terminal with my favorite text editor. The command "matlab -nodesktop" that I used with Linux doesn't work in MacOS 10.6.4.

$matlab -nodesktop

matlab: No MATLAB bin directory for this machine architecture.

ARCH = maci64


I'm running the student version of matlab R2010a. Is there a way for me to start matlab without its desktop? Thanks,
Chris

I fire my matlab on debian like

matlab -nojvm -nosplash

Trying this I still get the same error message. It seems that there is no binary that can be startet directly from the terminal. With the "open -a" command I can start the matlab launcher "MATLAB_R2010aSV" in the /Applications folder from the terminal that in turn starts the "normal binary launcher". But this "MATLAB_R2010aSV" launcher doesn't accept additional flags like
-nodesktop or -nojvm.

Any suggestions??

Try this:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2010a.app/bin/matlab -nodesktop

(assuming that Matlab is in /Applications)

Take a look at the System Requirements for the Student Version of release
R2010a on Mac:

http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/sysreq-r2010a/macintosh.html

Try starting MATLAB with the -maci flag.
