Hey Andros,
I faced the same issue, but going through this helped me: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/513449-what-unable-to-launch-the-matlabwindow-application-during-installation
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Update Your System: Make sure your system is up to date, as outdated packages can sometimes cause issues: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
