What's a reliable way of moving the MATLAB installation folder on linux? Will any symlinks be broken if a normal 'mv' is used?

I need to be able to move Matlab from it's current installation location on a HDD, to a SSD on the same machine. Could you provide step by step instructions to move the Matlab installation folder on linux, so that I avoid common pitfalls? I don't use any launch scripts, and I always invoke the Matlab executable using the absolute path.

Hi Roger,

In my opinion, I don't think moving the folder should cause any issues as long as you update the MATLABROOT and MATLAB paths since its only a matter of where and what to look for. In case you face any issues, reinstalling it on your ssd will definitely do the trick.

The following MATLAB Answer might also be of help if you decide to go with the latter.
