I have downloaded MATLAB R2012a for Unix platform and i want to install it on my ubuntu 11.10.
To install i try this command:

/<matlab_installation_file_directory>/install

and it says:

install: missing file operand

According to it's manual i must give it an input file, So i create an input file like this to install in 'Stand Alone' mode:

destinationFolder=usr/local/R2012a

fileInstallationKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

agreeToLicense=yes

outputFile=/tmp/mathworks_usr.log

mode=interactive

activationPropertiesFile=home/.../lic_standalone.dat

Acctually i'm not sure in "activationPropertiesFile" field what file is required, so i supposed it requires license file. I saved this file as txt format in the same directory which installation files are.

Then i tried this command:

install -inputFile my_input_file.txt

and it gets this error:

install: invalid option -- 'i'

I know there is some helps in other websites and also some questions here about this topic, but i can't figure out what's the problem, Please help me, i'm a real noob on linux .

Thank you guys

UPDATE:

in properties of the install file i checked the item "Allow executing file as Program", now it's like this:

after that i can run install file by clicking on it or by typing ./install in terminal. but in both ways i get this:

Preparing installation files ...

Installing ...

eval: 1: /tmp/mathworks_xxxx/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

Finished

in third line xxxx is a random number every time like 6370 or 5310 ... .
why i have not permission? what should i do?

UPDATE:

using Mahesh help i tried these commands:

sudo chmod +x ./install

sudo ./install -v

the result is:

Preparing installation files ...

Command to run:

Installing ...

eval: 1: /tmp/mathworks_6114/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

Finished

UPDATE:

Last thing to do is go into /matlab-install-files/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java and :

sudo chmod +x ./java

and then go back to installation files directory and run install by:

./install

or

sudo ./install

and it will work :-)

Thank you all specially "Mahesh" and "John"
