May I download and install fminuit for MATLAB? I cannot find the file on the web.

I am trying to convert a python code which uses iminuit and Minuit into the matlab script. Then I found minuit is not embeded code of MATLAB and plan to download it.

I found a website https://people.bss.phy.cam.ac.uk/~np451/out/DDM/MatLab_Common_Functions/matlab_common_functions/fminuit-2011.05.31/doc/html/Fminuit_download.html which seems to have been used to download and install. However, the url is not available now. I cannot find other sources.

Can anyone share the installation file and method of fminuit? I have R2013a version on Windows 64bit and R2021a on Linux. I hope at least one of them is suitible for fminuit.

Unfortunately the website and its archives are not available on the Wayback Machine, so you will have to try the email address. If you get no response you will have to continue searching.

Note that you will likely need to download the source code and compile it, as the pre-compiled versions are for 32 bit Linux and 32 bit Windows.
