Where do I install third-pary libraries?

I've written a custom add-on library, that includes the 'Stepper.h' library from Arduino. I have definitely downloaded and installed the Arduino library and can access it from the Arduino IDE just fine. However, when I try running my code in Matlab, I get the following error:

"The Arduino source 'Stepper.h' for libraries 'StepperL298N/Stepper_L298N' cannot be found. Install the third party library source first and try again."

I know where the library is and have added the path manually, but will still get he same error. When I enter >>fullfile(arduinoio.CLIRoot, 'user','libraries') to find out where to move the library so that Matlab can find it, I get the following error:

"Unable to resolve the name 'arduinoio.CLIRoot'"

Can someone tell me how to resolve this?

Hi,

It looks like you're encountering an issue with integrating a custom Arduino library with MATLAB. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this:

• First, ensure that you have the "MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware" installed. You can install it using the following link: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47522-matlab-support-package-for-arduino-hardware or through MATLAB "Add-Ons".
• MATLAB uses a specific directory structure to locate Arduino libraries. You need to place your custom library in the correct directory. Typically, the Arduino libraries for MATLAB are located in: C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2024a\aCLI\user\libraries
• Follow the same steps that you used to copy the library in the path given.

Hope it helps.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for!
