Maple toolbox for MATLAB

Is there anybody who is actively using latest version 2025 Maple toolbox (as a part of Maple) with MATLAB R2025b? I am not able to install the Maple toolbox on MATLAB R2025b on Ubuntu 24.04 Linux (installation process hangs).

I need to use the Maple toolbox for complicated symbolic computing which is not possible to perform via MATLAB symbolic toolbox (many symbolic matrix exponentials of 6x6 symbolic matrices, which takes on Matlab symbolic toolbox enormous CPU time).

As a MapleSoft product, best bet is probably one of their forums. I think it's not at all surprising there are issues going to R2025 given the major rewrites...

@dpb You are probably right.

But anyway, if there is any MATLAB user on this forum who uses this Maple toolbox, I would be very happy for any relevant comment.

No disagreement, but for any real chance for prompt resoltuion it'll almost certainly take the vendor. A quick search didn't find anything about solutions so one can conclude it hasn't got a broad exposure yet.

@Michal -- What Linux distro and version are you using?

Ubuntu 22 and later seem to be widely supported. Others not so much. (I'm currently using Ubuntu 24.04 with the latest updates, although not yet with Maple.)

See: Compatibility of Maple with various operating systems if you have not already found this page. Ubuntu appears to be the only Linux distro mentioned, with support for Ubuntu 23.10.

I am considering adding Maple, however I'll wait to see if you can get it wortking before I try it.

@Star Strider Actual Maple 2025 system requirements see here.

Especially the two most important parts:

1. supported MATLAB releases: 2024b, 2024a, 2023b ... may be a problem with R2025b
2. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ... which is definitely OK

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 and LinuxMInt 22.2 (which is based on Ubuntu 24.04)

Bummer, indeed...

Just out of curiosity, I gather you can install Maple, but the connectivity TB has to be installed from MATLAB?

Wonder what sort of arrangement, if any, exists to provide sufficient information to make stuff work or whether they (MapleSoft) have to figure it out all on their own. Heavens only knows what has been munged on in the internals with the massive rewrite. It seems like I recall seeing not too long ago somebody had trouble install MATLAB with Mint, but I don't seem to find that thread again at the moment.

My search didn't produce the site you cited.

I noticed that only MATLAB from R2023b up to R2024b appears to be supported.

It would likely be best to Contact Support for MATLAB, and perhaps a similar option for Maple to resolve this.

I would also be sure to attempt the installation in an Ubuntu directory.
