Matlab prompt is not opening when Trying to install matlab 2021b in ubuntu 20.04

Trying to install matlab in ubuntu 20.04, but after running the command sudo./install.sh, nothing shows up. Not able to understand why the prompt of matlab isnt showing up

I have seen two other people report the same difficulty, one for the same release as you, and the other person was using Parrot OS, if I recall correctly.

i tried this and it worked for me

[Marcus Hopfer]

Doesn't work for (X)ubunto 20.04 ... ´cause you can't do su export ....

There is only sudo available.

[Marcus Hopfer]

xhost +SI:localuser:root

finally worked for me :-)

[Angelo Barboni]

The solution pointed out by Kondamu worked for me as well: run

xhost +SI:localuser:root

before running the install script as super user.

[Danny da Costa]

This solved it!!! Finally :)

[Sanjan I S]

xhost +SI:localuser:root

Finally......

[Tyler Presser]

Same problem here, nothing happens when I run ./install

[Aryeh Weiss]

The problem is that it will not rum in sudo, and as a regular user it cannot use the default directories

[Benjamin Cham]

xhost +SI:localuser:root

This fixed it, thanks a lot!

[Brian]

and what if i wish to install matlab without a display/x server?

[Temitayo Oyedokun]

xhost +SI:localuser:root

This solve the issue for me too.

Thanks.

[Santeri Hautala]

Thanks for helping, it took about 2 hours to to get it installed and found that your comment about xhost helped me a ton.

[Giulia Cuomo]

had the same issue,

xhost +SI:localuser:root

worked for me as well. Thanks!!

[Wojciech Jamrozik]

Great! Finally I have Matlab on my Ubuntu :)

Answer 1

[Tom Engels]

It worked for me in Ubuntu when I ran the installation as superuser.

sudo -s --> password --> cd PATH_TO_DIC --> sudo .\install
