I am attempting to install MATLAB on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am following this guide.

  1. I downloaded the MATLAB 2015a ISO file.
  2. I then typed these commands into the terminal:
$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/iso
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ sudo mount -o loop R2015a-glnxa64.iso /usr/local/iso
mount: block device /home/matta/Downloads/R2015a-glnxa64.iso is
write-protected, mounting read-only
$ cd /usr/local/iso
$ ./install
./install: 1: eval: /usr/local/iso/bin/glnx86/install_unix: not found

The glnx86 folder does not exist but there is a glnxa64 folder in that location with an 'install unix' file inside. I tried modifying the install file but everything is read-only so I can't.

I have been using linux for 2 days now so sorry for any glaring errors.

  • Are you trying to install it on a 32-bit Linux system? AFAIK that's not supported: see [System Requirements – Release R2015a](http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/index.html?sec=linux) – steeldriver May 14 '15 at 13:49
  • @steeldriver. YES I AM!! Thank you very much. I looked at that page several times but never at the title bit where it states that. Thank you very much. I guess that's the answer if you want to put it on. – Matta May 14 '15 at 13:51
