MATLAB: Do I get the error “The system cannot find the path specified” when starting MATLAB Parallel Server

MATLAB Parallel Server

I am trying to start the MATLAB Parallel Server and I get the following error when I run "mjs install" or "mjs start":
ERROR: The system cannot find the path specified.
Script mjs unable to complete successfully - exiting

This error indicates that you have installed the Parallel Computing Toolbox, but have not installed the MATLAB Parallel Server. MATLAB Parallel Server products use a separate license and installation key.
To resolve this error, install the MATLAB Parallel Server, then run "mjs install" or "mjs start" again.
NOTE: Starting in R2019b the following name changes occurred:
  •     MATLAB Distributed Computing Server was renamed to MATLAB Parallel Server
  •     mdce_def was renamed to mjs_def
  •     mdce binary was renamed to mjs
  •     mjs scripts are in $MATLAB/R20XXx/toolbox/distcomp/bin for R2019a and earlier
