MATLAB R2009a Installation Instructions
These are very preliminary instructions. The will be improved in the next few days. You will need superuser privileges. Right now the assumption is that MATLAB install files are in ~/R2009a.
1. Create the directory MATLAB will be installed to. It is recommended that you use /usr/local/matlabR2009a:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/matlabR2009a
2. Change your working directory to the directory MATLAB will be installed to:
cd /usr/local/matlabR2009a/
3. Run the MATLAB installer:
sudo sh ~/R2009a/install
DO NOT START MATLAB AT THE END OF PRODUCT ACTIVATION Starting MATLAB at the end of Product Activation creates a permissions problem for storing MATLAB preferences.
4. Run MATLAB's post installation script:
sudo /usr/local/matlabR2009a/install_matlab
Create A MATLAB Launcher
1. Get an icon:
sudo wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Matlab_Logo.png -O /usr/share/icons/matlab.png
2. Get the launcher file:
sudo wget 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=matlab.desktop' -O /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
Possible Problem
When you launch your MATLAB Desktop you might see an error message similar to the following:
The desktop configuration was not saved successfully Cannot write to preference file "matlab.prf" in "/home/username/.matlab/R2009a". Check file permissions.
You can resolve this by exiting all instances of MATLAB and issuing the following command in your terminal:
sudo chown -R ${USER}:${USER} ~/.matlab
