How do I run a custom function when my toolbox gets installed?

I have a toolbox that is regularly distributed, and I'd like to run a custom function when the toolbox is installed. The purpose of this function is to check for other toolboxes (make sure dependencies are installed) and prompt the user to add a shortcut to launching an app packaged with the toolbox. I'd imagine Matlab doesn't allow you to do this, as that's a pretty easy way to run malicious code, and searching around the internet has yielded no results

I imagine that wanting to run a configuration script would be pretty common; it is a reasonable thing to want to do.

How is the toolbox "regularly distributed"?
It is usual, that a toolbox or software has a "configure" function to set up the environment. Then simply add this to the installation instructions.
Does your toolbox have a main function? Then you could trigger the configuration once automatically e.g. by setting a persistent flag by setpref.
