Locate the appropriate download for your computer as per the instructions in Matlab Software download. You will need to copy the files for your system from the server to a temporary location on your computer. These files will be removed after installation. Be sure to also copy "license.dat" and "PLP.txt". Windows users should use "license-win.dat" instead of "license.dat".

Execute the installer:

Windows: Installer.exe
Macintosh: InstallerForMacOSX.app
**Linux: ./install or ./boot.ftp

When prompted provide the PLP code. This is contained within the file, PLP.txt. Copy the entire text body.

When prompted, provide the location of the license file (license.dat or license_win.dat) on your computer.

When the installation completes you may remove all of the files you copied from the server including PLP.txt and license.dat.

 

**For Linux installs:

Extract the bzip file using the following command:    tar -xjvf <Name of Matlab file>

Once extracted - untar boot.ftp using the following command:   tar -xvf <Name of Matlab file> 

Run the ./install file
