Installazione MATLAB

Download your MATLAB copy from:

http://www.csita.unige.it/personalcomputer/licenze/matlab

then launch the installation. Specify the path where you want to install.

I strongly recommend to install MATLAB in /opt/MATLAB/R_your_MATLAB_version

In this way all users will have access to MATLAB.

You can create a symbolic link to MATLAB somewhere. I did not do that.

In order to launch MATLAB from terminal I added in .bashrc the following alias:

alias matlab='/opt/MATLAB/R2016b/bin/./matlab -softwareopengl'

The flag -softwareopengl solves some issues encountered on the latest (January 2017) distributions of Fedora, OpenSUSE and ubuntu. In this way you tell MATLAB to use OpenGL libraries shipped with MATLAB itself.

Maybe in a couple of months you will not need to do this trick. Note that graphical performance (time elapsed to plot on screen) could be degraded.
