When installing MATLAB R2010b on 64-bit Linux, I receive a permission denied message:

Preparing installation files ...

Installing ...

eval: 1: /tmp/mathworks_13113/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/java: Permission

denied

Finished

The permissions of my /tmp folder are fine. How can I install MATLAB?

This error occurs when the installer file (for example, matlab_R2010b_glnxa64_installer.zip or matlab_R2010b_glnx86_installer.zip) is not extracted properly. This commonly happens if the installer is downloaded on a Windows machine, is extracted, and then copied to a Linux machine.

To ensure that the installer runs properly, the installation archives should be extracted on a Linux machine. To extract the installer, you can use the command line tool "unzip" to extract the file. For example:

unzip matlab_R20*_glnxa64_installer.zip

If you still experience a permission error when running the installer, please see the related solutions below:
