I'm aware of this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB and have followed the instructions, which didn't help me. EDIT: Only because I'm stupid, the article is great.
I mounted my matlab 2014b-iso (it's named "R2014b_glnxa64.iso", so I'm very much assuming it's the 64-bit version) and ls -l
is telling me
total 6334

so I should have all permissions I need.
However, executing sudo ./install
results in
./install: 1: eval: /media/iso/bin/glnx86/install_unix: not found
which is right, since the path is /media/iso/bin/glnxa64/install_unix
.
Out of curiosity I tried sudo ./bin/glnxa64/install_unix
and got
Error: Cannot locate Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
The directory /media/iso/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre does not exist.
How can I install matlab!?
