+$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/opencobra/cobratoolbox.git cobratoolbox
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+After the download been finished, a directory named "cobratoolbox" should be created in your WORK directory.
+
+Enter the directory "cobratoolbox" using the following command
+{{< highlight bash >}}
+$ cd cobratoolbox
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+Then run the following command for uploading the required modules for cobratoolbox
+{{< highlight bash >}}
+$ git submodule update --init
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+Then run Matlab using the following command
+{{< highlight bash >}}
+$ matlab 
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+Finally run the following command to test CobraToolbox using the following Matlab command
+```Matlab
