MATLAB installation under Linux

MATLAB Installation Guide: "Downloaded installer file — Use the unzip command to extract the files from the archive file that you downloaded from the MathWorks website. After extracting the files, execute the installer command: ./install" Then:

    lucas@lucas-K55VD:~/Desktop/matlab_R2015a_glnxa64$ dir
    activate.ini  install       license_agreement.txt  trademarks.txt
    archives      installer_input.txt  patents.txt
    bin        install_guide.pdf    readme.txt
    help        java       sys
  lucas@lucas-K55VD:~/Desktop/matlab_R2015a_glnxa64$ ./install
  Preparing installation files ...
  Installing ...
  Finished

What should happen next? Because that's it and nothing else happens.

Hey Lucas,

It looks like you are having the same issue as described in this post:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/229857-why-do-i-see-preparing-installation-files-installing-finished-in-the-terminal-window-wh

According to that link, there are 3 possible causes that all have additional posts linked. If none of them help you out, you should probably contact MathWorks Technical Support to see if there is something else going on.

Hope that helps,

-Adam
