I would see if you can open a jupyter notebook and start a notebook with the mat lab kernel. If not, it either isn’t installed, or maybe is installed in a different jupyter. 

If you get errors here, the issue is outside of org mode. For example, the hylang kernel quit working for me a while ago. 

See 
https://github.com/Calysto/matlab_kernel#kernel-times-out-while-starting for some troubleshooting tips.

Hi

So I switched from finks python 3.7 to MacOS 3.8
I think I set all paths (mac does not locate them in
HOME/.local but in
HOME/Library

However when I fire up the org-babel command the iphthon console reads
as

But the matlab_kernel is installed

I am puzzled, any python guru could enlighten me please?
