I have downloaded MATLAB R2012a for Unix platform and i want to install it on my ubuntu 11.10. To install i try this command:

/<matlab_installation_file_directory>/install

and it says:

install: missing file operand

According to it's manual i must give it an input file, So i create an input file like this to install in 'Stand Alone' mode:

destinationFolder=usr/local/R2012a

fileInstallationKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

agreeToLicense=yes

outputFile=/tmp/mathworks_usr.log

mode=interactive

activationPropertiesFile=home/.../lic_standalone.dat

Acctually i'm not sure in "activationPropertiesFile" field what file is required, so i supposed it requires license file. I saved this file as txt format in the same directory which installation files are.

Then i tried this command:

install -inputFile my_input_file.txt

and it gets this error:

install: invalid option -- 'i'

I know there is some helps in other websites and also some questions here about this topic, but i can't figure out what's the problem, Please help me, i'm a real noob on linux .

Thank you guys
