How to install MATLAB in ubuntu 18.04? Error pops up while installing!!!

I have downloaded the file from the mat works web page for Linux. And always when I try to install it I get this error in the Terminal when I run sudo ./install in the same directory as i have extracted it.

this is the error,

./install: 1: exec: /home/murali/Downloads/matlab/bin/unknown/install_unix: not found

though when I look into the files, by command $ls, Im able to see install file. Thanks a bunch

Hi,

MATLAB R2018a version supports only up to UBUNTU OS 17.10. In the error, the system architecture (it should correspond to either 32bit/64bit) is reported "unknown". Make sure that the MATLAB installer matches your system architecture.

Note: 32 bit Linux has not been supported for the last several releases.

So will older version of matlab works for UBUNTU 18

As of now, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is supported by MATLAB R2018b.
