cannot install MATLAB R2024b in Ubuntu 24.04.1

Dear all,

I am trying to install MATLAB R2024b in Ubuntu 24.04.1 and after trying sudo -H ./install I keep getting this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): Failed to launch web window with error: Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application. The exit code was: 127

Aborted

I installed X11 libraries, updated libraries as indicated in recent posts, make sure I have permissions in the folder and I still get the same error every time I tried to install it. Please some help!?

Your best option is to Contact Support for installation problems.

Please post back here with MathWorks recommendations and your resolution of this problem. You may not be the only person to experience it.

I have also the same issue (Ubuntu 24.04 seems to rise a lot of issues with many softwares)

I used the installer app. I launched it on the MathWorks site.

It first said that it could not create the destination psth, so I first had to create

sudo /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b

and then it installed on its own after I clicked on that path. No problems since.

(I’m new to Linux, so still learning it.)
