I just bought MatLab last night, and I'm having issues installing it. Whenever i try to open the InstallForOSX.app, a space opens on the dock as if the app is trying to open, but then it immediately disappears. Additionally, when I try opening the install exec file, i get the following:
Last login: Sun Sep 13 12:27:22 on ttys000MacBook-Pro:~ Stephen$ /Users/Stephen/Desktop/matlab_R2015b_maci64/install ; exit;Preparing installation files ...mkdir: /tmp/mathworks_2162/sys/java/jre/maci64/jre: Permission deniedusage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directorymkdir: /tmp/mathworks_2162/java: Permission deniedusage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directorymkdir: /tmp/mathworks_2162/bin/maci64: Permission deniedusage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directoryInstalling ...Finishedlogout
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried older versions of MatLab, installing the newest version of Java, repairing disk permissions and nothing has worked.
I'm on a 2003 Macbook Pro Retina running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
