Getting Matlab on Emacs: A Beginner's Guide

[birdhen]

I am a complete beginner, just started with emacs yesterday, and know very little about computers. I have some code to get Matlab onto emacs but what do I do with it...I have written it in a new file and then tried to get into Matlab mode but it is unrecognised...can anyone give me some advise ?

Presumably you're talking about using Matlab mode in emacs. That's simple:

M-x matlab-mode

will do the trick.

it just says no match..

Probably because you haven't installed matlab-mode: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=104&objectType=file

I did install it, so I don't know what I am doing wrong...
