Hey there.
I tried installing Matlab 2019b on my Ubuntu 18.04 after the following instruction:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-matlab-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
Everything worked, the Installer opened, I successfull installed Matlab. I didnt got a single error message or smt related. Every screen looked like the ones in the instruction.
But after finishing the installation & creating the shortcut launcher the programm did not start. In fact, I couldnt find the installed programm.
Either Matlab didnt install correct (& I wouldnt know why) or I'm for some reason not able to open the programm properly.
I tried installing the Matlab Helper from the Software Store, when I try to launch Matlab this way I get a reaction - Matlab appears on the left top with the rotating circle like it's going to start every second. But then it disappears again & nothing happens.
I have no great experience, wether in Matlab nor in Linux & I'm thankful for any kind of help.
Greetings, Elias

Did you try opening the terminal and typing:
matlab
if you still want to use your terminal after starting the matlab process, you can type
matlab &
sometimes creating shorticuts might be tricky.

I am now able to open matlab after activating it and for this i used the following procedure
First i accessed the installation directory in terminal, in my case it was
cd Documents/bin
To lauch the activation client typed the following in terminal
sh activate_matlab.sh
Activated matlab by giving details.
Then opened matlab by applying command in terminal in installation directory
./matlab

You can try entering the folder you chose.
In the figure, just enter in the bin folder and try typing ./matlab
Do it in the terminal.

I just ran into the same issue, but I also found a solution.
It seems the download installation files I had did not contain the complete installation (which should have been obvious to me since it was only ~300MiB). Installing again using "Log in with a MathWorks Account" enabled me to select and download all products later on in the installation process.

Hey Elias,
I understand that it has been a long time since the last input to your query. Have you tried installing the matlab-support package?
To do so, open a terminal and enter the command given in the line below. Before you proceed, make sure you know the correct path to your matlab installation since you will need to enter it later during installation of matlab-support.
sudo apt-get install matlab-support
After issuing this command, please follow the installation steps accordingly. For your convenience, a query similar to yours is also attached here.
