+* Building matlab tree sitter manually
+
+On Debian 12 Intel/AMD 64-bit, install node and gcc if not installed:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt install nodejs npm
+ node --version

+ sudo apt install gcc
+ gcc --version
+ # gcc (Debian 12.2.0-14+deb12u1) 12.2.0

+Download and extract tree-sitter-linux-x64.gz from
+https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases into some location, e.g.
+
+ : ~/emacs-projects/tree-sitter-bin/tree-sitter
+
+Get matlab tree-sitter, e.g.
+
+#+begin_src bash
+ cd ~/emacs-projects
+ git clone https://github.com/acristoffers/tree-sitter-matlab.git
+#+end_src
+
+Build:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+ cd ~/emacs-projects/tree-sitter-matlab
+ ~/emacs-projects/tree-sitter-bin/tree-sitter generate --abi 14
+#+end_src
+
+Install, using default branch
