MATLAB: How to create symbolic links automatically using the silent installer

MATLAB

I will be doing a silent installation of MATLAB for multiple machines, and I would like to know how to create symbolic links automatically using the installer_input.txt file.

Best Answer

Currently, it is not possible to create symbolic links automatically using the installer_input.txt file. The only way to create symbolic links is to create the link manually.
In order to manually create the symbolic link, browse to the /usr/local/bin/ folder and run the following command:
ln -s $MATLAB/bin/matlab matlab
where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory.
