Informatique / Matlab / CentOS 7 : installation of Matlab R2015a to R2016b without GUI

We need a valid license for the version we want to install and

• the iso file R2016b_glnxa64_dvd1.iso for release 2016b, R2016a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso for release 2016a, ...
• the file Installation Key
• the license file license.dat (client version)

We choose to present the installation of the release 2016b. For the other releases, the same principle can be applied. For a console/text mode installation of the release 2016b

1. Create the configuration file Matlab_client.cnf adapted to your license. For me its contents is :
   destinationFolder=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2016b  
   fileInstallationKey=<write your installation key here>  
   agreeToLicense=yes  
   mode=silent  
   licensePath=<write path here>/license.dat  
   lmgrFiles=false  
   lmgrService=false  
   # After add your license products  
   product.MATLAB  
   product.MATLAB_Compiler_SDK  
   product.MATLAB_Compiler  
   product.Parallel_Computing_Toolbox

   A list of some Matlab products/Toolboxes is given product.list .

2. to mount the iso file R2016b_glnxa64_dvd1.iso replace in the following command the <path> by the path of the iso file.
   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/iso
   sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 <path>/R2016b_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/iso

3. The next command lauch Matlab install by using previously created Matlab_client.cnf file.

   sudo /mnt/iso/install -mode silent -inputFile /<full path>/Matlab_client.cnf

4. unmount the iso file
   sudo umount /mnt/iso

   For other releases of Matlab, we just have to change the destinationFolder in file Matlab_client.cnf and use the corresponding iso file.
