In order to perform a Student Version installation on a Linux machine you will need to run the installer, which you can download from our website (https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads). Before installing you will need:
1. Your email address and your MathWorks® Account password. You need them to log in to your account during installation. If you have multiple licenses associated with your account, determine which license you want to install.
2. Correct permissions to install the software. In most cases, you will need to get the root password. You can install MATLAB software without superuser privileges, however, it limits certain installation options. For example, if you want to set up symbolic links to the matlab command, install product files in a protected folder, or edit the system boot script, you must have superuser status.
NOTE: Consider disabling anti-virus software and Internet security applications on your system during installation. These applications can slow the installation process or cause it to appear unresponsive (or to hang).
For details on the installation process, refer to the following documentation:

If you are running Linux with a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the MathWorks Installer displays the "Welcome" dialog box. Click OK to proceed with the installation.
