Setting Up

1. Put the .m files in the default working directory of your MATLAB.
2. Edit librarypath.m. Change the username and the library path as instructed in the comments.
3. Structure your package library as follows:

Packages             -> The folder pointed by librarypath
|
├───PackageA         -> A folder with name corresponding to the name of the package
│   ├───v1.0.0
│   │   └───Files    -> The files and folders belonging to version 1.0.0 of PackageA
│   ├───v1.2.3
│   │   └───Files    -> The files and folders belonging to version 1.2.3 of PackageA
│   └───v3.1.6
│       └───Files    -> The files and folders belonging to version 3.1.6 of PackageA
|
├───PackageB         -> A folder with name corresponding to the name of the package
│   ├───v2.11.1
│   │   └───Files    -> The files and folders belonging to version 2.11.1 of PackageB
│   └───v4.7.13
│       └───Files    -> The files and folders belonging to version 4.7.13 of PackageB
...

4. Ensure that the version numbering follows the semantic format: major.minor.patch.

Usage

The term add in the following means adding the directories and sub-directories of the specified packages into the MATLAB's search path. The term remove means removing the directories and sub-directories from the search path.

Adding Packages

To add the latest version of a package named PackageA, call:

addpackage('PackageA')

To add the version 1.2.3 of PackageA, call:

addpackage('PackageA_v1.2.3')

To add many packages together, call, for example:

addpackage('PackageA','PackageB_v2.11.1','PackageC_v12.8.2')

Adding a package will always remove all other versions of the same package, if it has been previously added.

Removing Packages

To remove all added packages, call:

rmpackage()

To remove any version of PackageA, call:

rmpackage('PackageA')

To remove the version 1.2.3 of PackageA, call:

rmpackage('PackageA_v1.2.3')

To remove multiple packages together, call, for example:

rmpackage('PackageA','PackageB_v2.11.1','PackageC_v12.8.2')
