 # Strato Applications
 
-## Command Line Interfaces
 All Strato instances are essentially Linux computers with [headless interfaces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_computer). They are in many ways very similar to regular desktop computers as they have a file system, network and computing capability, and they can run virtually any application - provided it can run on Linux. This is the most efficient way of distributing computing ressources and should be sufficient in most cases.
 
+## Command Line Interfaces
+
 For many users, operating a computer from the command line will be a new experience. At first they may not know what to do with it. and they may be tempted to install applications, that more or less turn their instance into a remote desktop. Although this may be possible, it might not necessarily be a good idea. Installing desktop capabilities will require a large number additional libraries to be installed, whereby critical system libraries are replaced, leaving you with a very non-standard instance that may be prone to errors, is difficult to troubleshoot and potentially has security risks.

 Now install Matlab using MPM. Note that here we are installing a version from late 2023. You can check [Mathworks website]("https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html") to see if there is a newer release.
 ```
-mpm install MATLAB --release=R2023b --destination=$HOME/matlab/
+mpm install MATLAB --release=R2024a --destination=$HOME/matlab/
 ```
 
 Additional matlab toolboxes can be installed in the following manner:
 ```
-mpm install --release=R2023b --destination=$HOME/matlab --products Signal_Processing_Toolbox Communications_Toolbox
+mpm install --release=R2024a --destination=$HOME/matlab --products Signal_Processing_Toolbox Communications_Toolbox
 ```
 
 As we want to be able to launch matlab, when we type `matlab` - we will need to add the directory of the matlab executable to our `PATH` variable. We do this and restart our shell:
