Ubuntu – MATLAB R2014a on Ubuntu 14.04 Install Issue

command lineMATLABsoftware installation

I am trying to install MATLAB R2014a on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I download the .iso file (from my University) and mount it using Disk Image Mounter. Then I open a terminal, switch to the directory where the image is mounted, and enter this command:

sudo ./install

Then it runs a bunch of lines that all say cp: failed to extend 'some stuff' or cp: error reading 'somestuff' and then Input/output error. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, I just installed Matlab 2014a from .iso file on Ubuntu 14.04, both 64 bits.

I see there are still issues regarding mounting and installation procedures. My simple experience was just downloading the iso file and extract it there (not mount).

Then chmod +x ./install replied permission denied. This needed making the java file in /matlab-extracted-folder/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/ executable using chmod +x ./java.

Now come back to the matlab extracted folder and install as sudo ./install.
