I am trying to install Matlab on Ubuntu using my account on Mathwork. I remember installing in the same way on Windows properly, but here on Ubuntu it fails to proceed... It should have proceeded without this error, because I did the same installation on Windows previously. The error says that it failed to create a folder. I wonder what might be the case here. I will provide the image for clarification.enter image description here

If this situation is familiar to anybody, can you advice what to do further?

  • When you are running `./install` as regular user, you can't write to a system folder. If you like to write to `/usr/local/...` you should execute `sudo ./install` which will run `./install` as `root` – Yaron Mar 08 '17 at 07:26

  • @Yaron, well, it did work, I can't use it. It's produced `License checkout failed. License Manager Error -9 Your username does not match the username in the license file. To run MATLAB on this computer, you must run the Activation client to reactivate your license.` Do you know any solution to this? – bit_scientist Mar 08 '17 at 21:56
