Hi Jaime,

MWorks’ standard [data analysis tools](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/guide/data_analysis.html) depend on the MWorksCore framework, which is only available for macOS.

Since version 0.12, MWorks has included a [pure-Python data file reader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mworks/mworks/master/tools/python/Modules/mwk2reader.py) that can be used to analyze event files on non-Mac systems ([more info](https://mworks.discourse.group/t/analyze-mworks-on-linux/873/4)). I tried to implement something similar for MATLAB, but I was thwarted by MATLAB’s [wonky SQLite interface](https://github.com/mworks/mworks-issues/issues/365#issuecomment-1490305002). If you really want to analyze MWorks data with MATLAB on Linux, you should be able to use the Python mwk2reader module via MATLAB’s [Python interface](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/call-python-libraries.html).

Cheers,  
Chris
