Method 1: Fast Installation with Container Technique
Docker
Make sure you have Docker installed, if not, please follow the instructions on the Docker website to install Docker.
1. Pull the SBCI Docker image
docker pull jiaqiding/sbci_abcd:1.0
2. Run the new container for the pulled image
docker run -it -p [your machine port]:3389/tcp --name [your container name] docker.io/jiaqiding/sbci_abcd:1.0 /bin/bash
Use -p to specify [your machine port], this will be used to launch the virtual desktop. Use --name to give a name to your container.
Now [your machine port] is hosting the desktop of this docker container.
Tip
If your machine doesn’t have desktop, then you need to map the port to a computer with desktop
Open the cmd/terminal on your computer to connect the port on the machine that your container is working on:
ssh [your machine IP] -L [your computer port]:localhost:[your machine port]
Now [your computer port] is hosting the desktop of this docker container. Keep this ssh connected.
3. Launch the virtual desktop to activate Matlab
a. Connect to the desktop
Open application named Remote Desktop Connection.
Type localhost:[your machine/computer port] in the address blank. Click connect, then you’ll see the login page.
username: root
default password: 1234
b. Activate the Matlab
Click the Application -> Development -> Matlab. Then use your own Matlab account to activate the Matlab.
