Why does the dmg image for Mac lack an installer_input.txt file?

Best Answer

To comply with new security restrictions in macOS Sierra, installer_input.txt is no longer packaged with the MATLAB installer. The installer_input.txt file is attached to this article.

For more instructions on performing a silent installation see the MATLAB documentation.

The downloaded installer .dmg may be corrupt or incomplete. It is recommended to try running the installation again using a newly downloaded installer. You can download a new copy of the installer using the following link:

https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/

If the issue continues even after using the new installer, please follow the instructions listed below:

From the Finder in Mac OS X, hit Command + Shift + G and enter the following path:\n
```
/System/Library/CoreServices/
```
Locate the app named “Installer.app” from this directory and launch it.
Once launched and completed, navigate back to the location where your failing installer .dmg is located and launch it again.

The installer should proceed normally at this point.

This error can occur when performing a silent installation without the required installation files. For an silent/automated installation, the complete installation files and File Installation Key are required.

If you are a License Administrator, you can to download the installation files by choosing "download only" with the MATLAB installer or download the ISO files to move to an offline/non-interactive machine.

To obtain the installation files required for a silent/non-interactive installation, please refer to the following article:
