From Download
- Download the install file from Download MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and Other MathWorks Products
- Unzip and open downloaded directoy
Install
- Run the installer as a super user
sudo ./install- Follow the instructions of the installer and install in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a
- To add an entry to the launcher and some other features, install the matlab-support package:
sudo apt-get install matlab-support- During the installation you have to confirm the installation path of matlab and could restrict the installation only to certain users (which I did not require). In addition you could rename the GCC libraries, but I had no problems so far so I didn't deactivate those.
- After completion, you have to change the ownership of the .matlab folder in the home folder to your own user account if you do not want to run Matlab as a super user.
cd ~ sudo chown username -R ~/.matlab
Now Matlab should also be launchable through unity and should work as intended.
