Why am I unable to install R2024 Linux from a command line

I have prepared the installer, using my name. I have used: 'install -inputFile /usr/local/R2024a' (Linux). The response says "i" is an invalid option. Removing the initial hyphen provokes "No such file or directory." Where am I going wrong?

You've followed all the steps in the Download Installer and Products, Create Installer Properties File, and Run Installer Using Properties File sections on this documentation page?

From what file did you extract the install script you're trying to run (which should be the one that you downloaded during the Download Installer and Products section)? Or is it possible you're trying to run an install script that happens to be taking precedent over the one that you downloaded from MathWorks?

Hi Ronald,

Most probably the reason for the error is that you have specified 'install' in the command instead of './install'.

Because using "install" without the preceding "./" in a Linux environment will typically invoke a completely different command than the MATLAB Runtime installer script named "install".

You can refer the solution provided in the following MATLAB answer thread, which addresses the exact same issue:

Hope it helps!
