## Download software ##

Go to the [download page][] and download the installation file as a zip.

You may have to log in using your matlab credentials before downloading the installation file.

## Install ##

1.  unzip the installation file to anywhere you like.
2.  open terminal, type the command below:
    
    `sudo sh install`
3.  change any settings as you see fit and install the software to its preferred location `/usr/local/MATLAB`
4.  active MATLAB with your credentials

## Create desktop entry (optional) ##

Type the following commands in the terminal.

sudo wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Matlab_Logo.png -O /usr/share/icons/matlab.png
    sudo touch /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
    sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop

Paste the following into the document and save it. (You may need to update the path to the matlab executable file if it is not installed in the default location, e.g. `Exec=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/matlab -desktop` )

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
    [Desktop Entry]
    Type=Application
    Icon=/usr/share/icons/matlab.png
    Name=MATLAB R2017b
    Comment=Start MATLAB - The Language of Technical Computing
    Exec=matlab -desktop -useStartupFolderPref 
    Categories=Development;

Press `super` and then you should be able to find the MATLAB icon in the Unity Search.

## Change initial working directory (optional) ##

By default, Matlab startups with the folder in which you run the matlab command. To use the folder specified by the Initial working folder preference, use the `-useStartupFolderPref` startup option and change the initial working directory as below.

On the `Home` tab, in the Environment section, click `Preferences` Select `MATLAB`> `General`. Choose an option for the `Initial working folder` preference.

Enjoy using Matlab!
