Hey I recently built a computer and put ubuntu 16.04 onto it. Now I'm going through and adding different software packages. One of them that I got is MATLAB 2016a which I have no idea how to install on a Linux system. I've really never used one before so please excuse the learning curve. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to go about doing this?



I have the downloaded the zip file but I can't seem to extract the file. That seem to be the portion I'm stuck on. Thanks in advance.

  1. If unzip command isn't already installed in your system, run:



    sudo apt-get install unzip



  2. Go to the directory you downloaded Matlab .zip file:



    cd /path/to/download/directory



  3. Unzip the file:



    unzip downloaded_matlab_zip_file.zip -d matlab_destination_directory



  4. Navigate to matlab_destination_directory:



    cd matlab_destination_directory



  5. Run the Matlab installer:



    ./install


  6. Follow these installation steps from the vendor.

Important hint: The MATLAB installation wizard may get stuck creating the installation directory (by default /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a) because it does not have enough write permissions. If that happens, the easy solution is to run the Matlab installer as a super user



sudo ./install
