Need a guide on installing MATLAB

lunaleggero · #1 9th November 2011, 06:29 PM

I just download MATLAB 2010b student edition from university portal and , I want to install it on fedora 16. However , after I try to read though the manual but still can't figure a way to install it. I am new to fedora and just search over the forum and got confuse on SELinux and MATLAB. T_T

The file downloaded is in .iso format. I don't have any blank DVD beside me so I can't burn it. Do I need to mount it or just extract the file. Sorry for my english and asking many questions.

Just make a directory (say "matlab")

Code:

mkdir matlab

Then mount the matlab iso file to the matlab directory

Code:

mount -o loop matlab.iso matlab

You will need to install libXp from yum

Code:

yum install libXp

Then just go into the matlab directory and run install

Code:

cd matlab
./install
