CVX Installation error in MATLAB

1

I’m trying to install cvx(cvx-1.22.zip) in Matlab 9.4(R2018a) for student projects. I followed the instruction for installation in the website. When i run cvx_setup command inside cvx folder in matlab, I’m getting these errors. I’m using Ubuntu 16.04.

Undefined function or variable ‘cvx_begin_set’.

Error in lorentz (line 90)
cvx_begin_set

Error in cvx/norm (line 74)
{ x, z } == lorentz( n, [], ~isreal( x ) );

Error in cvx_setup (line 256)
minimize( norm(A*x-b) );

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried installing CVX 2.1 instead?

Thanks for the response. I couldn’t find 2.1 version in the site. Also i’m a student, i’m looking for free solvers.

Thanks. I looked at the same page. In free solvers version there are 2 options. I tried both. Also when i click on the header “Download CVX”, nothing is happening.

I downloaded cvx-rd.zip under free solvers. After running ‘cvx_setup’, it shows this error.
