MATLAB: Do I receive the error “No such file or directory” when installing MATLAB on a Mac

Question

Why do I receive the error "No such file or directory" when installing MATLAB on a Mac?

Answer 1

This error indicates that the user account you are logged in as is not an administrator account. In order to install MATLAB in the default location, /Applications/, you must be logged in as an administrator.

To resolve this issue, either switch to an administrator account, or install MATLAB in a different location, such as the Applications folder in your Home folder.
