After following these commands to compile matconvnet. when I run run matlab/vl_compilenn in matlab, I receive the following error:

Error using vl_compilenn>check_clpath (line 577)
Unable to find cl.exe

Error in vl_compilenn (line 400)
    check_clpath(); % check whether cl.exe in path

Error in run (line 96)
evalin('caller', [script ';']);

Error is related to cl.exe which seems like Visual C++ compiler. I have Windows updated with bunch of 'Microsoft Visual c++ redistribuibile' already installed.

I have Matlab 2016a on Windows 7

Maybe I need to install Visual studio? – Sadegh Jun 18 '16 at 17:28
Yes, that's what you need to do. – Mike Kinghan Jun 18 '16 at 17:40
after installing Visual Studio and restarting, still get the same error. – Sadegh Jun 18 '16 at 19:07
And of course you will also need to ensure that the directory containing `cl.exe` is in your `PATH`. – Mike Kinghan Jun 18 '16 at 19:10
Also make sure that you run `mex -setup` first - that actually does search for the VisualStudio installation... – Karel Lenc Sep 28 '16 at 11:17
