MATLAB: Ubuntu linux installation ./install fails

Question

So I did the command in the pdf of install -inputfile installer_input.txt when I didn't change the name of the installer input, then I ran into the problem of bash not knowing what install was so I did ./install, but when I did that permissions was rejected and when I did sudo ./install it said it couldn't find install again. and when I wrote out the full path of install in the matlab installation folder it still failed

xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ ./install
-bash: ./install: Permission denied
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ sudo ./install -inputfile installer_input.txt
[sudo] password for adlab:
