R2013a Linux (64-bit) Download and Installation Instructions

    Create a new directory, such as ~/mathworks_downloads, to store the downloaded installation files:

      user@host$> mkdir ~/mathworks_downloads
      user@host$> cd ~/mathworks_downloads

    NOTE: This directory stores temporary installation files and can be deleted after a successful installation. You will be prompted to choose a permanent MATLAB root folder during installation.
    Click the “Download” button for each file listed below and choose to save into the download directory created in Step 1. Download all listed products, including all _common.zip and _glnxa64.zip files, into the same directory.

    NOTE: Depending on configuration, your web browser might save files to a default location. If so, move the downloaded files into the directory you created in Step 1.
    Execute the following command to extract the installer:

      user@host$> unzip matlab_R2013a_glnxa64_installer.zip

    Execute the following command to begin the graphical installer:

      root@host#> ./install

    NOTE: You must run the installation as root if:
        You want to install MATLAB into a write-protected directory, such as /usr/local or /opt.
        You want to install symbolic links to the MATLAB executables into the system path, such as in /usr/local/bin.

    If installing a Standalone Named User license, do not run the activation client as root user. After installation, choose to exit without activating. The end user will be prompted to activate when launching MATLAB for the first time.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation of MATLAB. When prompted to choose an installation location, select an appropriate location outside of the download directory.

    When the installer asks if you want to proceed with activation, click Next. Activating right after installation is recommended. To get help for any part of the activation process, click Help on that screen.

    For complete installation and activation instructions, consult the online documentation or the installation guide:
