Install matlab in Linux


Following the steps of the installation.

After that, there is no menu created in the application. Just navigate to /usr/share/applications and create a file "matlab.desktop", do remember you must do this with root priority.
Then copy following to the file and change the Exec and Icon path, then save it.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Matlab
Comment=Matlab
Exec=/usr/local/bin/matlab/bin/matlab
Icon=/usr/local/bin/matlab/X11/icons/matlab64c_icon.xpm
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
StartupNotify=true



Finished!

Do make sure the Terminal is set to true, as matlab must be started from terminal.
