How to install MATLAB

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 11215 / 1 Year ago, wed, january 25, 2023, 5:36:06

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and try to install MATLAB 2011a. I followed the instructions on the PDF manual accompanying MATLAB as well as the topic at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB.

The problem is when I run

sudo /matlab_install_root/install

I get the message

sudo: /matlab_install_root/install: command not found

Is that an issue of incompatibility?

Cheers,

Okay guys. I got the problem.

I had the installation folder on an NTFS volume which wouldn't allow me to change the permissions to run the install thing. I moved the folder to an ext4 volume and everything was alright.

For those who have the same problem: don't forget to set the executable bit of the sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin or sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin (depending on your architecture) directory, otherwise you would get some 'permission denied' or 'unknown command' error.
