Hello,
I've been trying to install Matlab R2018A on Ubuntu machine with no luck so far.
I'm using ISO files and try to go by this description. I have the root access and I have 2 .iso files which i mount as a root and merge to one installer folder. When I run the ./install comand this is what i get:
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
Finished
I tried to do silent mode with a specified -inputFile argument which got me a bit further but an unsuccesful installation at the end.:
root@coreserver:~/temp# ./install -mode silent -agreeToLicense yes
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
