I executed this command in a terminal by going to the folder where I placed the installation file.

santiago@CHAPA:~/Descargas/Matlab/MATLAB$ sudo sh install

but this showed in the terminal

Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
install: 1: eval: /tmp/mathworks_6992/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

Can anyone help me?

The answers here and in this post: How do I install MATLAB R2012a? did not help unfortunately.

For me this procedure worked -- Install instructions:

1) copy DVD content into a folder in home - e.g. MatInstall

2) change directory to folder with iso content:

cd MatInstall

3) make install and java executable: 

chmod u+x install
chmod u+x sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin/java

4) create MatLabTemp directory in home:

mkdir $HOME/MatLabTemp

5) open a terminal and type the installation command:

$HOME/MatInstall/install -javadir $HOME/MatInstall/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/ -root $HOME/MatInstall/ -tmpdir $HOME/MatLabTemp

( with this command we tell the Matlab Installer manually where to look for the data, temp directory and java)

    Thank you, that actually helped. I would recomment using sudo on the last command, since it will need to create a default folder in /usr/local – sdkfasldf Dec 26 '13 at 00:59

from the installation directory do this 

$ cd java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin 
$ chmod +x java

basically you have to convert the files in ~/Descargas/Matlab/MATLAB/java/jre/glnx86/jre/bin directory into executables.

after this continue with the normal installation from installation directory

$ sudo sh install

I just solved this Problem!

Got to change 'execute permission' on 2 files in the folder you create on your PC before installing the program :

install in the default Folder

java in /Matlab/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin

To do so go on each file and: right-click -> Properties -> Go on the permission features and check the executable box. And it's Done!

./install

The permission denial will tell you the file you need to make executable. I download 2015a Matlab using this advise just changing a different file to executable.

java in /Matlab/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre/bin

To do so go on each file and: right-click -> Properties -> Go on the permission features and check the executable box. And it's Done!

./install
