Hello,

We are running Scientific Linux 7, a Redhat Enterprise clone.

I know I had this problem earlier when I initially installed R2020a but I don't recall how I solved it.

We purchased a new toolbox which I want to add. I have mounted the ISO image on a server and run the installer.

It immediately asks for my email address. We have a file installation key. I try to select it but it just does not repsond.

I also try to enter in my email address, nothing is typed in the text area. By some trial and error I manage to get the license

agreement form, says yes, get a window for the file installation key, paste it in but then the Next key never activates and I am stuck.

What is frustrating is that I know I got around this before.

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

I observed this annoying behaviour when trying to install R2020b on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and 16.04 and I recognized that starting from R2020a they changed the installer. Thy guy from matlab support did not know this problem, neither a solution for it.

My workaround to get around this finally was to patch the install script, replacing the line

targetAppName="install_unix"

to

targetAppName="install_unix_legacy"

however, I assume it is a nasty bug in the new installer, I suspect, it could even be connected with keyboard handling in the new matlab in general ...

have fun!

Andreas

R2021a update 2 has the bug, but it doesn't have the old installer, which is a bit awkward if you are trying to install the product.

The unattended install does work, however, so you can run as: ./install -inputFile installer_input.txt

On mine, I set destinationFolder, fileInstallationKey, agreeToLicense and licensePath, and it installs without interacting at all, sidestepping the problem.
