Give the serial key and the license file when prompted.</p> <p>After the setup is completed, don’t start Matlab. Create a .matlab directory in your home and give user permissions.</p> <blockquote><p>mkdir ~/.matlab</p> <p>sudo chown -R ${USER}:${USER} ~/.matlab</p></blockquote> <p>Done! Now you can run Matlab using the command:</p> <blockquote><p>sh /usr/local/matlab/bin/matlab</p></blockquote> <p>You can of course add a shortcut to your main menu.</p> <p>EDIT: When you’re adding a shortcut to the main menu or desktop, add the “-desktop” option (without quotes) at the end of the command, otherwise only the popup screen will be displayed.</p> https://blog.thameera.com/installing-matlab-2008a-on-ubuntu-10-10/feed/ 18 132
