Appreciate the guide. Still new to Linux and Mathworks itself didn't make it clear how to install. Now I've finally got MATLAB up and running.

I would have never have figured this out (complete Linux noob). Thank you so much for your help. The steps for "academic use" are a little different at the very end of your tutorial, but I am sure everyone can figure those out. Thanks again!

Thank you men! I searched for hours why I wasn't getting the visual GUI pop-up.

I forgot to create the destop icon, when I enter matlab in the terminal it gives me an error. I activated it but it doesn't work. Where can I find a file to double clic?

Edit: I reinstalled everything, this time I check the option to create a symbolic link to the DESKTOP. I found myself with both the desktop’s link and the command ‘matlab’ not working. After a while I figured out that I had to move the link to /usr/local/bin. Now the command matlab works.

Till activation it worked fine. But when I'm writing matlab in the terminal to launch it, it's showing 'matlab: command not found
'.

[jirivaltr]

Everything went fine, until 6:42. command was not found. WTF...

after i do sudo ./install i get 'terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Failed to launch web window with error: Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application. The exit code was: 127
Aborted' how do i fix this?

Hi Phil!
Thanks for the amazing video. Very easy to understand and follow.
I followed all of your steps and executed them effortlessly.
Although after activation, when I try to launch Matlab thru terminal(like you showed in the video), I am simply not able to launch it. Do you think you could give a suggestion?
It will be really helpful.
the error i see in Terminal : "Command not found"

I have installed Matlab not in my file systems folder but in my Documents folder~

I did everything in this tutorial with no issue. However, when I enter "matlab" into the terminal I get "command not found".
