Open a MATLAB GUI from terminal

I am new to MATLAB GUI programming. I have designed a GUI using MATLAB GUIDE and saved it as a .fig file and I have written a .m file and linked both the files.

Now I start my GUI by opening MATLAB and then from the MATLAB command line I invoke it. This works fine, but now I want open my GUI directly from the Linux terminal command line by a command instead of opening MATLAB and then opening the GUI.

Is there a way to do it? I can't create an executable file, because I don't have MATLAB compiler tool box. How do I do this?

If you don't have the MATLAB Compiler you cannot run your GUI without also running the MATLAB process. However, you can run your GUI without the MATLAB desktop showing, which I think is what you want. If your GUI main function is called myGUI you could run this command from a linux terminal:

matlab -nodesktop -r "myGUI"

MATLAB will still run in your terminal, so you might want to add a CloseRequestFcn that exits MATLAB. See http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/figure-properties.html#prop_CloseRequestFcn.
