Informatique / Matlab / OpenSUSE 13.2 : installation of Matlab R2015a to R2016b without GUI

pict pict

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)

For a console/text mode installation of the release 2016b

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 .

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

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
```
Here is the output of this command on my computer

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.
