Installing 64-bit Matlab on Linux

August 2008


[Note]Note

The Installation Manual at the MathWorks site is sound. Follow the preparatory steps below, then follow that link.

Procedure 50.  The installation of Matlab on Linux step by step

  1. Preparations

    1. Locate the installation media. See for how to mount a Windows server. The .iso-images you 're looking for are probably under /mountpoint/ISO/RUG/APS/.

    2. [Note]Note

      This step is only needed if the installation images are not mounted on the installing machine. Do make sure the receiving machine has space for the medium.

      Send the CD/DVD of your choice to the machine that is going to do the installation.

      scp MATHWORKS_R2008A_LIN_MAC_SUN.iso user@machine.domain.com:/tmp

    3. [Note]Note

      This step is only needed if the installed files are going to be on an NFS share.

      Mount the target share read-write before starting the install:

  2. Logging in

    ssh user@machine.domain.com

  3. Mounting the installation medium

  4. Follow the Installation Manual from Mathworks. It's much better than this one.
