Using the installer returns std::runtime_error (Linux Mint 22)

I get the following error message when running the installer:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what():  Failed to launch web window with error: Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application. The exit code was: 262

This thread reports the same error and suggests to install libXss1 and libgconf-2-4, but it didn't help.

Thanks for your help

Hey Andros,

Summary:

The error you're encountering when running the MATLAB installer on Linux Mint 22 may be due to missing libraries or compatibility issues.

Install Required Libraries: Ensure that you have the necessary libraries installed. You can try installing the following packages:

sudo apt-get install libxss1 libgconf-2-4 libgtk-3-0

Check for Other Dependencies: Sometimes, additional libraries may be required. You can check for any missing dependencies using:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0 libnss3

Run Installer with Terminal: Try running the installer from the terminal to see if there are any additional error messages that can provide more context:

 cd /path/to/installer
   sudo ./install

Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the installer. You can change the permissions using: this is the most possible cause.

 chmod +x install

Update Your System: Make sure your system is up to date, as outdated packages can sometimes cause issues:

 sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade

Let me know if you're able to get rid of this
