Opening Matlab on Linux
Show older comments
I know this has been answered a few times but those suggestions do not work for me. I installed my matlab in the file /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017a since this was the automatic suggestion. However when I go on the command line and type ls in R2017a nothing shows up, and the command "matlab" does not work in any directory of my command line. Any ideas on how to open the program? I have tried matlabroot/bin/matlab but there is no matlab file in bin and I do not have permission to make the directory with mkdir matlab.

It seems your installation was not done successfully.
Try install by sudo user.
sudo ./install
sudo user has a permission to write in /usr/local/MATLAB.
