What is the best way to setup the 'matlab' alias?

I'm kind of confused because I need to setup an alias called 'matlab' to be able to open MATLAB from terminal but also the same alias is needed to execute 'addpath' to be able to use ISSM functions.
Thanks!

Hi Ignacio,
I have the following aliases set up in my shell configuration...

alias matlab-cli='matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -r "addpath $ISSM_DIR/src/m/dev; devpath;"'
alias matlab-gui='matlab -nosplash -r "addpath $ISSM_DIR/src/m/dev; devpath;"'
alias matlab-ssh='matlab -nosplash -nodisplay -nojvm -r "addpath $ISSM_DIR/src/m/dev; devpath;"'

You probably don't need the last one unless you will be running MATLAB over an SSH connection. Also, you can modify the arguments to addpath as needed.
