To interface BARON with MATLAB, you must download both BARON and the MATLAB/BARON interface zip archive. The Optimization Firm provides BARON for free for problems up to 10 variables. For larger problems, you will need a BARON license. No license is required for the MATLAB/BARON interface for any size.

Get Started

To run the BARON/MATLAB interface, follow these steps:

  1. Download both the BARON executable and the MATLAB/BARON interface from our Downloads page.
  2. Run the BARON installer and choose your installation location. The default location is C:\baron.
  3. From the BARON installation folder, copy the BARON executable (baron), OpenMP library (libiomp5md.dll), and pthreads library (pthreadVC2-tof.dll) to the Interface folder within the matbar directory (i.e. matbar/Interface/) and rename the executable barin.
  4. Unzip the MATLAB/BARON interface folder (matbar) to a suitable permanent location.
  5. To install the interface, navigate to the matbar directory within MATLAB, then run BARON_install.
