Install MIDAS Toolbox in Matlab 2024b

Hi, I just installed Matlab version 2024b. Now I want to use the MIDAS toolbox. How matter I tried to install MIDAS toolbox from Ads-on install or download and do through setting path. when I check the path, I still see it in the command window. But when I type help midas, it says not found midas. When I check ver, I did not see midas toolbox either. I reset the matlab many times. What should I do? Please help me.

Most items installed by the Add-On Explorer do not show up in ver (official MATLAB toolboxes being the exception -- but Support Packages do not show up.)

The MIDAS toolbox does not have any midas function, so there is no midas.m that might have H1 lines to be displayed by the help command.

The MIDAS toolbox offers a series of example scripts, with names such as appADLMIDAS4 and appMidasQuantile1

Thank Walter so much for your answer. So if it is not shown on Matlab, could you please guide me how to run the garch-midas or midas command on Matlab. I am stuck with it.

You might want to explore https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32384-midas-2010?s_tid=prof_contriblnk "MIDAS 2010" which comes with a GUI named MIDAS2010
