Error trying to launch Matlab on Ubuntu using terminal

Hello, I am able to launch Matlab using ./matlab in bin folder. But I want to be able to create an icon or launch it using terminal.

I am trying these command and I get error:

sudo /usr/local/MATLAB/bin/matlab -desktop
sudo /usr/local/MATLAB/bin/matlab matlab

the error is :

License checkout failed.
License Manager Error -9
This error may occur when: 
-The hostid of this computer does not match the hostid in the license file. 
-A Designated Computer installation is in use by another user. 
If no other user is currently running MATLAB, you may need to activate.

Troubleshoot this issue by visiting:

Could anyone help me please.

In particular when you sudo, you are running as root, but you probably have an individual user license that is licensed against your user name, not against root.
