On version R2020 the normal install script may not work, however, the legacy install script ISO-DIR/bin/glnxa64/install_unix_legacy does work. You can run the script as root to install MATLAB system-wide or your user to install it only for you. The installation is handled by the install script. Wayland is not currently supported yet, at least not for the GUI however, plotting seems to work. To install with the GUI a working Xorg graphical display is necessary.

The MATLAB installation software is self contained and does not require any additional packages to install in silent mode. Installing from the MATLAB installation software The advantage of the matlab AUR package is that it manages dependencies and some of the nuances of the installation process while installing directly from the MATLAB installation software can be done by regular users to their home directories. It is possible to install MATLAB either with the matlab AUR package or from the MATLAB installation software directly. In addition to the software a file installation key is required for installation. The MATLAB software is available to licenses holders on both a DVD and through the The MathWorks website. Release names are composed of R, the year of the release and a or b.Ī complete copy of the MATLAB software must be obtained before it can be installed. New versions of MATLAB are released twice a year, MATLAB is proprietary software produced by The MathWorks and requires a license to obtain, install, and activate.
