Hi Kiran,

Follow the steps below to install a trial license MATLAB on a Linux OS using command line:

1. Fill out the details on this page to activate your trial license: https://www.mathworks.com/campaigns/products/trials.html
2. Obtain a "File Installation Key" from the "MathWorks License Center" by providing details such as the username and host ID of your remote Linux machine.
3. Now, On the "Products Trial" page in step 1, click on the "Install MATLAB" option and download the MATLAB R20xxy Linux .ZIP file to your host PC.
4. Transfer this .ZIP file to your remote machine. You can use methods like uploading the file to GitHub and pulling it into your remote machine using git command, or using file sharing options between your host and remote machine.
5. Next,Follow the steps on how to create an "installer_input.txt" file in the following documentation and modify only the "fileInstallationKey" to the key obtained in step 2. https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/ug/install-using-a-file-installation-key.html#mw_790d5804-69a8-4c3f-800b-9c19c9f391d5
6. Execute the silent installation using the "install" script with the "InputFile" parameter as described in the documentation from step 5.
