Please attach a screenshot of your toolbar/ribbon along the top of MATLAB with the Editor tab selected so we can see it. Note that the run button only shows up when you've activated the Editor tab on the tool ribbon and you have an editor window open. To make sure the m-file has focus, click anywhere in the Editor window with your m-file so that the cursor (blinking vertical bar) is blinking in your m-file window, not blinking in some other window like the command window.

Hi, I am using MATLAB r2014 on Ubintu Linux 15.10 and I have the same problem. There is no run button on the Editor Toolstrip. Here is the screenshot of my window:

The F5 key does not work either, so I don't have any way to run scripts right now. There is no context menu either - no File, Edit etc. that most programs have in the title bar. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rename your file so it has the extension .m and give that file focus by clicking on it in the Editor then the Run button should appear.

Thank you Steven. This was a silly mistake and I figured it out today as well. Thanks for answering my question though!

Hey Steven,

I have done everything you said. However, the toolstrip still the same without problem. I did an upgrade of my matlab version and I do not run my previous scripts.

I really appreciate any feedback.

Cheers Ray

Your file has the extension .m, but the Editor does not have focus (the Command Window does.) Click on the file in the Editor then you should be able to use the Run button.
