Installing MATLAB 2018a in Linux
1. Download MATLAB
Follow the website here:
2. Install MATLAB by Commands
(1) In the download files directory, open a terminal and type
sudo mkdir /mnt/matlab
sudo mount -o loop R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/matlab
cd /mnt/
sudo ./mnt/matlab/install
Default installation path is /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/.
(2) After the installation process approaches about 60%, type
sudo mount -o loop R2018a_glnxa64_dvd2.iso /mnt/matlab
(3) Replace the files in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin by the files in Crack.rar
.
sudo cp -rvf R2018a/bin /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/
3. Launch MATLAB
Open MATLAB in directory /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin by typing
sudo ./matlab
Add the license in Crack.rar
.
3.1 By Desktop Shortcut
Type
sudo gedit /usr/share/application/matlab.desktop
and write down the following codes in the file
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Matlab
GenericName=MATLAB
Comment=Matlab:The Language of Technical Computing
Exec=sh /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin/matlab -desktop
Icon=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/toolbox/nnet/nnresource/icons/matlab.png
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;Matlab;
Then go to application 'files' to search 'matlab', and drag the icon to the desktop.
If there is a message “The desktop configuration was not saved successfully” in matlab, then type
sudo chmod a+w -R /home/<username>/.matlab/R2018a
3.2 By Command
First add path by typing
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin/
Then start MATLAB without desktop (only calculation)
matlab -nojvm -nodisplay -nosplash
If you want gcf
support, try to use
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash
4. Add MATLAB to PATH
Type
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
Add one sentence to the end
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin/
This change is valid in every newly-opened terminal and can only be used by current user.
By the way, .file
means hidden file, we can use 'ctrl+h' to show/hide these files.
5. Set Path in MATLAB
(1) Set MATLABPATH:
HOME=>ENVIRONMENT=>Set Path
Click add folder to add matlabpath permanently.
Same with addpath
+ savepath
.
(2) Set USERPATH:
HOME=>ENVIRONMENT=>Preference
Click General and add userpath in Initial working folder.
Same with userpath
.
Create a startup.m
in userpath and this script runs everytime matlab starts.
