I am trying to use a Matlab wrapper for my code in the ipython spyder IDE. 
I get the following error when I run the code:

```
raise RuntimeError("Unknown MATLAB location: try to initialize MatlabSession with matlab_root set properly.")

RuntimeError: Unknown MATLAB location: try to initialize MatlabSession with matlab_root set properly.

```

I'm hoping this is a simple fix to import a module or change a setting in spyder. Or if anyone knows how to set the matlab\_root? Any help would be much appreciated, Thank You!
