I have not been able to install any toolboxes because the installation runs into PermissionDenieds on /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017/. I've included a logfile /tmp/mathworks_pjhellemn.log below which includes the error. I tried running Matlab with sudo, but my license is only for user pjhellemn and not for root, so Matlab would exit with a License Manager Error -9. I also ran "sudo chmod -R 777 *" at /usr/local/MATLAB/ before trying to install the toolbox, but then ended up getting "java.io.IOException: Error 1 setting permissions for /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017a/toolbox/local/pathdef.m. Operation not permitted" (also in the logfile below, but nearer to the bottom).

I am running Ubuntu 16.04. I'm using R2017 and trying to install the Bioinformatics toolbox right now, but I've had this same issue with R2016 and the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox. I am installing Matlab by downloading the zip, extracting it, and then running "sudo ./install" in the proper directory, and using all defaults in the installation.

Since trying "chmod 777" I have deleted the Matlab installation directory ("sudo rm -rf /usr/local/MATLAB/") and freshly installed, but am running into the same problems.

How do I get around these permission / licensing errors?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

/path/to/installation/directory is the path to your matlab installation if you type matlabroot the matlab terminal it will tell you e.g

sudo chown -R $LOGNAME: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b

change the path accordingly to matlabroot's output

Thats it

(I Found solution here)

Had a similar problem. Try Running it as a superuser: sudo Matlab

Then run the add on manager and download the ones you want.

If this does not work, you can try changing permissions of the installation folder using

sudo chmod -R o+rw /usr/local/Matlab/R2017X

(careful with this step, reading about permissions in Ubuntu recommended)

If you want to avoid messing with folder permissions, here's what worked for me:

Add an addon like normal until you get the permission error.
Open a terminal and run "ps -eo cmd | grep AddOnProductInstaller | head -n 1"
You should see AddOnProductInstaller from your installation dir with (very) long cmd line arguments.
Run this as sudo

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 19.04 and matlab R2019b, for the installation I succed using sudo ./install instead of only ./install. But becasue the add-ones are installed trough matlab and not terminal I'm not able to use the sudo command. I tried all the solution proposed in this page but they weren't useful for me.

What should I do?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

If you are running the Matlab in container and if this issue is persistent then this is how I solved the problem.

sudo chmod -R o+rw /opt/matlab/R2022b
sudo chown -R matlab:matlab /opt/matlab/R2022b

Then restart the Matlab and hope the problem is solved.

Hi Paul,

For any installation issues, you will want to contact MathWorks Technical Support. They will likely be able to help resolve this faster than waiting for a response on this forum!

I also have similair problem. I installed matlabR2021b in ubuntu 21.04. But instead of sudo ./install just ./install worked for me. I installed MATLAB in home folder. But when I type matlab in terminal it is showing that matlab command not found. I have tried all of the above solutions and nothing worked for me.Plz help me.
