Install Matlab in Ubuntu 12.04

First, make a mount point, which is just a folder. For example:

mkdir /media/mathworks

-----------------------------------------------------

ps: change user to root as:

sudo -s

change the file that can be written:

sudo chown username [foldername] -R

-----------------------------------------------------

Then mount the downloaded ISO to that directory. For this example, the ISO is in the home folder under the downloads folder and the ISO is called matlab.iso:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop ~/downloads/matlab.iso /media/mathworks

Now you can navigate there and run the installer as if it were a copy of the DVD, for example:

cd /media/mathworks

./install

If you are unable to utilize the ISO image, you may be able to request a DVD in the License Center. See the related solution below.
