using csc's matlab in linux

[gajendra khanna]

Before installing matlab ensure that you are having java1.6 jre
installed. (Debian users can get it from backports.org).
To install csc's matlab on your linux machine follow the following steps:-
1. ftp to 10.12.2.254 as user anonymous. (Takes time to open be
patient. I did this in konqueror just as ftp://10.12.2.254)
2. download the full folder current_matlab_2007a which has three
files. (takes a while 3GB plus)
3. Go to that folder.
4. Extract the matlab.tar file. (do graphically or tar -xvvf
matlab.tar in console).
5. Go into the matlab folder created by extraction in console. (Be
super user or root)
6. Type sh ./install and press enter. (Ensure exec flag is set for the
partition where you have extracted this tar file)
7. Installer will start. Press OK.
8. He will ask whether you agree with the agreement. Say yes.
9. He will ask for location for MATLAB root directory location. Enter
as per choice. I gave /opt/matlab.
10. If directory is not existing he will ask whether you want to make
it. Say Create.
11. In another console copy the licence file license.dat to your
relevant location. for me it was /opt/matlab/etc/
(cp location/license.dat /opt/matlab/etc/ )
12. He will ask for platforms and items to install. You probably want
all. Select Linux (x86) and
(x86_64) platforms (as per me one should be sufficient but saurabh
gorecha said it doesn't work) and press ok.
13. He asks if you want to create symbolic links to MATLAB scripts in.
Just say ok.
14. He asks if you want to begin installation. Click ok.
15. He will start installation. wait for 100% completion.
16. Then he says installation complete. Click on Exit.

Matlab is now installed. You can run it by running in console
/opt/matlab/bin/matlab program.

This completes the installation. I have been trying to do this for
sometime. I am posting the procedure here hoping
that it maybe useful for somebody.
Thanks.

Is there a method of running the Matlab without connecting PC to LAN.

 

Sometimes the license Server is down and i can't get Matlab started.

I don't think there would be a straight/legal way of doing that. The
only thing we can do is complain each time the license server is down.

From http://10.10.1.4/ , the appropriate email address is
sun...@cc.iitd.ernet.in . Similarly, when I find that 10.10.1.6 is
down, I sometimes email bh...@cc.iitd.ac.in (from
http://10.10.1.5/newmail.html ).

in two letters NO. (CSC has bought a lan only version).

Alternatively, if your situation permits, you could try to use the open
source equivalents. Scilab or Octave. I am happy with Scilab for my
limited needs.
