Do I need to install matlab to run this code?

[sunshineatnoon]

Through this is a python wrapper, it seems that MATLAB is needed for compiling some files, do I have any other ways to run selective search codes without installing MATLAB? Thanks~

I think so. there is some code for calling matlab.

mc = "matlab -nojvm -r "try; {}; catch; exit; end; exit"".format(command)
pid = subprocess.Popen(
shlex.split(mc), stdout=open('/dev/null', 'w'), cwd=script_dirname)
