You can run an unattended installation without a resource file by specifying the installation options directly in the command line. To run the unatttended installation this way, do the following:

32-Bit and 64-Bit Windows
  1. Open a command prompt window.
  1. Browse to the directory in which your Maple install file is located.
  1. Run the unattended installation process with the appropriate command for your platform. For 32-bit Windows use the following syntax Maple18WindowsX86Installer.exe —option optionvalue . For 64-bit Windows use Maple18WindowsX64Installer.exe —option optionvalue . For example, on 32-bit Windows, use the command Maple18WindowsX86Installer.exe —mode unattended to install Maple in unattended mode.
32-Bit and 64-Bit Linux
  1. Browse to the directory where your Maple install file is located.
  1. Run the unattended installation process with the appropriate command for your platform. For 32-bit Linux use the following syntax ./Maple18LinuxX86Installer.run —option optionvalue . For 64-bit Linux use the following syntax ./Maple18LinuxX64Installer.run —option optionvalue . For example, on 32-bit Linux, use the command Maple18LinuxX86Installer.run —mode unattended to install Maple in unattended mode.
Mac OSX
  1. Open a command terminal.
  1. Browse to the directory where your Maple install file is located.

Maple Toolbox Installation

If you have MATLAB® installed, you can install a toolbox that provides an integration between Maple and MATLAB®, where you can directly access all of the commands, variables and functions of Maple and MATLAB® while working in either environment.

MATLAB® Version Requirements

Maple 18 connectivity with MATLAB® is supported for MATLAB® 2012b, 2013a, or 2013b. For the latest information on which MATLAB® versions are compatible with Maple 18, visit http://www.maplesoft.com/products/system_requirements.aspx . Note that older and newer versions of MATLAB® may work, but may not be tested by Maplesoft.

Install the Maple Toolbox During the Maple Installation Process

During the Maple installation process, the Maple installer will display a panel indicating that the installer has detected that MATLAB® is installed. At this point, you can install a toolbox which will connect Maple with MATLAB® by selecting the MATLAB® version that you want to use from the list of available MATLAB® versions. You can also skip the Maple Toolbox installation by selecting Do not configure at this time.

If the MATLAB® Symbolic Math Toolbox™ is installed, another panel will prompt you to select either the Maple Toolbox or MATLAB® Symbolic Math Toolbox™ as the default.

Install the Maple Toolbox After Installing Maple

To install the Maple Toolbox after Maple is installed, do the following:

  • On Windows, run the batch file MapleToolbox.bat in the Maple install root directory. By default, C:\Program Files\Maple 18 . Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • On Linux, run the file MapleToolbox in your Maple install root directory. By default, $HOME/Maple18/ , where $HOME is your home directory . Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • On Macintosh, run the file MapleToolbox in your Maple install root directory. By default, /Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/18 . Follow the on-screen instructions.

Getting Started With the Maple Toolbox

Start MATLAB® and then open the MATLAB® help system. To open the main Maple Toolbox help page, select Maple Toolbox from the table of contents.

OpenWatcom (Windows 32-bit only)

For the 32-bit Windows version, Maple 18 includes the OpenWatcom C compiler. This compiler is used for the Maple compiler feature, which allows you to compile some types of user-written Maple routines to speed up the performance of your code.

To use this feature, you must install the OpenWatcom C compiler when you install Maple 18. The OpenWatcom compiler requires that it be installed in a location whose name contains no spaces (the default is C:\watcom-1.3 ). During installation, you will have the opportunity to change this default location.

To remove the OpenWatcom C compiler after installation, follow these steps.

  1. Delete the directory in which Watcom was installed.
  1. Delete the WATCOM environment variable.
  1. (Optional) Delete the Watcom paths from the INCLUDE environment variable.
  1. (Optional) Delete the Watcom paths from the PATH environment variable.

Note: If you have installed the OpenWatcom compiler with a previous release of Maple, please install again to the same location.

Verifying Video Card Driver Requirements

To optimize the performance of graphics in Maple 18, it is strongly recommended that you install the latest driver software available for your video card. Before using Maple 18, follow the steps in this section to verify and, if necessary, upgrade your video card driver software.

Identifying Your Video Card Type

32-bit and 64-bit Windows
  1. Do one of the following to open the Device Manager window:
  • (Windows XP) Select Start , then Run . In the Open field, enter devmgmt.msc and click OK.

  1. Identify the driver version used by your video card. See Identifying the Driver Version Used By Your Video Card for instructions.
  1. Visit your video card vendor’s web site to check whether a more current version of the driver software is available. See Obtaining the Latest Driver Software for instructions.

If the version number of the latest driver software available from the vendor matches the version number of the driver software installed on your computer, your computer is configured to display graphics in Maple 18. If a more current version is available, download the driver software from the web site and install it on your computer.

Note: It is not recommended that you use driver software updates automatically detected by Linux software upgrade utilities

Macintosh

First, determine whether hardware accelerated graphics are turned on.

  • In the root of your Linux installation, run the glxinfo | head command.

If hardware accelerated graphics are turned on, you will see a line that reads direct rendering: Yes . If this line reads direct rendering: No , hardware accelerated graphics are not turned on.

You can search the package management system of your Linux installation for drivers installed on your computer. Linux distributions use different package management systems; the instructions below are provided for the two most common Linux distributions.

dpkg-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu

To query which packages are installed on your system, run the dpkg -l command. (Note that this is a lower-case letter L.) This command will display several lines of output, so it is useful to limit the output using the grep command. Continuing with the example above, enter the following command to search for NVIDIA® drivers.

dpkg -1 | grep -i nvidia

If you have a hardware accelerated driver installed, you will see an output line such as nvidia-glx-177 . In this example, 177 is the major version number of the driver. The full driver version number is displayed in the second column. For example, it will look like 177.82-0ubuntu0.1 on a Ubuntu system.

Hardware accelerated ATI™ drivers are named fglrx on Linux. For example, the package name could be fglrx-amdcccle and the version number may look like 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1 on a Ubuntu system.

Intel® integrated accelerated graphics hardware may contain intel in the package name or just the chipset information, such as i810.

rpm-based Linux distributions such as SuSE and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

To query which packages are installed on an rpm-based Linux system, run the rpm -qa command. This command will list every package installed on your computer, so you can limit the search by using the grep command. For example,
