How do I install the latest version of Matlab?

software-center matlab 13.04

When I tried to install Matlab using the Software Center, it prompted me for the Location of MATLAB installation(s). Since I am trying to install it, I don't know what to do.

You are trying to install matlab-support, which needs matlab to be installed first. Follow the instructions given here to install matlab first:

  • Installing Matlab on Ubuntu

In the instructions given on that page, when you try to install the "ia32-libs" package, you will be prompted to choose an application. For this click on "browse" and then go to /usr/bin/software-center.


MATLAB in the software centre does not provide MATLAB which is not free but helps to configure an existing MATLAB installation to run better on Debian based Linux operating systems such as Ubuntu as shown below.
