From my understanding you want to run MATLAB in your Linux system. MATLAB must be launched from the command line on Linux. If you completed installation as root user, you may have had the option to install symbolic links to MATLAB in a folder on your system path. If you selected to install these links you can launch MATLAB from the command line, regardless of current working directory, by typing the command:

user@host$> matlab

If this does not work, or if you did not install the symbolic links during installation, you must launch MATLAB by specifying the full path to the MATLAB start script:

user@host$> cd $MATLABROOT/bin

where $MATLABROOT is the full path to your MATLAB installation directory, ex:

/usr/local/matlab/R2009b

then launch MATLAB using the following command:

user@host$> ./matlab

See the Documentation for additional information about starting MATLAB on Linux.

If you want to create short cut for MATLAB in Linux, To do so, start by moving into /usr/local/bin:

cd /usr/local/bin

Then create the link with the ln -s command. For example, if you are using R2020b, run this command:

ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/R2020b/bin/matlab matlab

This will allow you to run MATLAB from anywhere on your system without needing to first navigate to the MATLAB installation directory.

Run the install command in that directory

./install

Then follow the prompts. If you need assistance understanding any of the steps, consult the mathworks_installation_help.pdf file in that directory or contact Technical Support using the Contact Support link on the Support section of this website.
