install matlab on a server with no gui, no sudo right

Hi,

I am trying to install matlab on a server with no gui and no sudo rights using the following cmd:

./install -inputFile installer_input.txt

In the "installer_input.txt" file, we need to specify fileInstallationKey. How can we get a licence number when we are using only the free 1 month trail option? I can't find it in my account.

Thank you for your help

Hi Yasmina Mekki,

I understand that you are trying to install matlab on a server with no gui , no sudo rights and searching for fileInstallationKey in "installer_input.txt".

If you are using the free one-month trial option of Matlab, you do not need to specify a file installation key in the "installer_input.txt" file. You can simply leave that field blank.

Here is an example of how the "installer_input.txt" file should look like for a Matlab installation without specifying a file installation key:

destinationFolder=/path/to/installation/folder
agreeToLicense=yes
mode=silent

Make sure to replace "/path/to/installation/folder" with the actual path where you want to install Matlab.
