Hi I am trying to install 2017b on a Mac (OSX 10.11.6) and get the following error message:
"The following error was detected while installing matlab_doc_en_common: /var/folders/gs/nf73rlxj6w18v71tnjbq4w3r0000gt/T/zip3090828485696887117.tmp (Permission denied)
Would you like to retry installing matlab_doc_en_common? If you press No, the installer will exit without completing the installation. More information can be found at /var/folders/gs/nf73rlxj6w18v71tnjbq4w3r0000gt/T/mathworks_g123j.log"
examining the log I see the last entry: "(Oct 24, 2017 11:30:17) Installing Product: MATLAB 9.3 (Oct 24, 2017 11:33:15) java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/folders/gs/nf73rlxj6w18v71tnjbq4w3r0000gt/T/zip3090828485696887117.tmp (Permission denied) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open0(Native Method) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(RandomAccessFile.java:316) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.(RandomAccessFile.java:243) at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile.(ZipFile.java:213) at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile.(ZipFile.java:192) at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile.(ZipFile.java:153) at com.mathworks.install.archive.zip.commonscompress.CopyInputStreamToTempZipFileExtractor.extract(CopyInputStreamToTempZipFileExtractor.java:42) at com.mathworks.install.archive.DecodeArchiveInputStreamExtractor.extract(DecodeArchiveInputStreamExtractor.java:34) at com.mathworks.install.input.ArchiveComponentSource.extract(ArchiveComponentSource.java:26) at com.mathworks.install.InstallableComponentImpl.install(InstallableComponentImpl.java:102) at com.mathworks.install.ComponentInstallerImpl.installComponent(ComponentInstallerImpl.java:99) at com.mathworks.install.ComponentInstallerImpl.installComponents(ComponentInstallerImpl.java:58) at com.mathworks.install.ProductInstallerImpl.installComponents(ProductInstallerImpl.java:225) at com.mathworks.install.ProductInstallerImpl.installProduct(ProductInstallerImpl.java:211) at com.mathworks.install.ProductInstallerImpl.installProducts(ProductInstallerImpl.java:88) at com.mathworks.install.InstallerImpl.install(InstallerImpl.java:114) at com.mathworks.installwizard.model.InstallTask.execute(InstallTask.java:46) at com.mathworks.installwizard.model.AbstractBackgroundTask.execute(AbstractBackgroundTask.java:38) at com.mathworks.installwizard.model.AbstractTask.call(AbstractTask.java:74) at com.mathworks.installwizard.model.AbstractTask.call(AbstractTask.java:24) at com.mathworks.wizard.worker.WorkerImpl.doInBackground(WorkerImpl.java:24) at javax.swing.SwingWorker$1.call(SwingWorker.java:295) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at javax.swing.SwingWorker.run(SwingWorker.java:334) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)
