I have downloaded MATLAB R2012a for Unix platform and i want to install it on my ubuntu 11.10. To install i try this command:
/<matlab_installation_file_directory>/install
and it says:
install: missing file operand
According to it's manual i must give it an input file, So i create an input file like this to install in 'Stand Alone' mode:
destinationFolder=usr/local/R2012a
fileInstallationKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
agreeToLicense=yes
outputFile=/tmp/mathworks_usr.log
mode=interactive
activationPropertiesFile=home/.../lic_standalone.dat
Acctually i'm not sure in "activationPropertiesFile" field what file is required, so i supposed it requires license file. I saved this file as txt format in the same directory which installation files are.
Then i tried this command:
install -inputFile my_input_file.txt
and it gets this error:
install: invalid option -- 'i'
I know there is some helps in other websites and also some questions here about this topic, but i can't figure out what's the problem, Please help me, i'm a real noob on linux .
Thank you guys
UPDATE:
in properties of the install file i checked the item "Allow executing file as Program", now it's like this:
after that i can run install file by clicking on it or by typing ./install in terminal. but in both ways i get this:
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
eval: 1: /tmp/mathworks_xxxx/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java: Permission denied
Finished
in third line xxxx is a random number every time like 6370 or 5310 ... . why i have not permission? what should i do?
UPDATE:
using Mahesh help i tried these commands:
sudo chmod +x ./install
sudo ./install -v
the result is:
Preparing installation files ...

UPDATE:
Last thing to do is go into /matlab-install-files/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java and :
sudo chmod +x ./java
and then go back to installation files directory and run install by:
./install
or
sudo ./install
and it will work :-)
Thank you all specially "Mahesh" and "John"
install --help
returns ?
