Hi Iratxe Landa Sedano,

It appears you are encountering an issue where the MATLAB installer cannot find the product files necessary for installation, despite you seemingly having everything set up correctly. Here are few troubleshooting steps for the same:

• Ensure you are in the correct directory where all the MATLAB installation files are located. You can verify your current directory by running the “pwd” command in the terminal. The output should be the path to the directory containing the MATLAB installation files.

pwd

• Make sure all necessary files, especially the “install” script and the “installer_input.txt” file, are in the root of the unzipped folder
• Ensure you have execution permissions for the “install” script. You can set this by running “chmod +x install” in the terminal within the directory of the unzipped files.

chmod +x install

• If the file is indeed named “installer_input.txt”, the correct command to start the installation would be the following

./install -inputFile installer_input.txt

I hope this helps!
