MATLAB toolboxes, including the Reinforcement Learning Toolbox, are typically distributed and installed via MathWorks' Add-On Explorer or directly from your MathWorks account. Toolbox installable files in .zip or .tar formats are not usually made publicly available but can sometimes be obtained through official channels or system administrators in enterprise or academic settings.

Here’s how you can proceed:

1. Install via Add-On Explorer (Recommended)

The easiest way to install any toolbox is using MATLAB's built-in Add-On Explorer:

  1. Open MATLAB.
  2. Go to the "Home" tab and click "Add-Ons""Get Add-Ons".
  3. Search for "Reinforcement Learning Toolbox."
  4. Click Install to download and install the toolbox directly.

2. Download from MathWorks Account

If you need offline installation files or cannot access Add-On Explorer, you can download toolboxes from your MathWorks account:

  1. Log in to your MathWorks account.
  2. Navigate to "My Account""License Center".
  3. Select your license and click on the "Download Products" link.
  4. Choose your MATLAB release version and download the desired toolboxes.
  5. Follow the offline installation instructions provided by MathWorks.

3. For Enterprise or Academic Users

If you are part of an organization:

  • Check with your IT department or MATLAB administrator. They may have access to the toolbox files in .zip or .tar formats for local distribution.

4. Access MATLAB Central or MathWorks Support

If the above methods are not an option:

Manual Installation

If you obtain the .zip or .tar file:

  1. Extract the contents to a folder.
  2. Add the folder to your MATLAB path:
addpath('path_to_extracted_folder');
savepath;
  1. Run any setup.m or install.m script included in the folder.

Let me know if you need detailed steps for any of these methods!
