+Configuring MATLAB
+==================
+
+DART uses MATLAB's own netCDF reading and writing capability and does not use
+any MATLAB or third-party toolboxes. 
+
+To allow your environment to seamlessly use the DART MATLAB functions, your
+MATLAB path must be set to include two of the directories in the DART
+repository. In the MATLAB command prompt enter the following, using the real
+path to your DART installation:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   addpath('DART/diagnostics/matlab','-BEGIN')
+   addpath('DART/guide/DART_LAB/matlab','-BEGIN')
+
+It is convenient to put these commands in your ``~/matlab/startup.m`` so they
+get run every time MATLAB starts up. You can use the example ``startup.m`` file
+located at ``DART/diagnostics/matlab/startup.m``. This example startup file
+contains instructions for using it.

+Summary of MATLAB functions

+Once you have processed the ``obs_seq.final`` files into a single
 ``obs_diag_output.nc``, you can use that as input to your own plotting routines
 or use the following DART MATLAB® routines:
