Below are general instructions to install the ROS Toolbox in Matlab on the host machine. We will use this to communicate with ROS in the virtual machine.
Before we can use ROS in MATLAB, we will need to install python 3.10 in your computer in a local directory.
Go to the following website to download python3.10:
win: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/python-3.10.10-amd64.exe
mac: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.11/python-3.10.11-macos11.pkg
Note Install python to a local directory that you can identify. You will need the path to the installed python3.10 in Matlab.
This could be a path in your Documents folder for example.
Opening Preferences from the Home tab.
When you open the ROS Toolbox Preferences, go to the python installation folder.
