How to mount .iso file on hard drive

Question

I'm right now in some troubles. I've MATLAB R2012b.iso which sizes 5.25 GB.

I tried to mount it using Furius and K3b.

But when I put DVD+R Double Layer in cd-rom, it says "Uable to mount, Location is already mounted."

What to do.

If it's an iso image you can mount this file the following way:

mount -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /mnt

To check if it's an iso image type:

file /path/to/file.iso
/path/to/file.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu 13.10 i386               ' (bootable)

This above is an example of an Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop iso file. As you can see it's an ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem.
