Matlab 2013a installation error on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Question

after 83 percent installation it gives error

The following error was detected while installing sl3d_glnxa64: archive is not a ZIP archive Would you like to retry installing sl3d_glnxa64? If you press No, the installer will exit without completing the installation.

"More information can be found at /tmp/mathworks_root.log" did not seem important to look at and include in the question? — Rinzwind, Apr 26 '14 at 13:40

I got the exact same problem. The quick fix is to deselect "Simulink 3D Animation Toolbox" during intallation provided that you don't need it.

I also ran into the error exactly at 83%, and this solution worked for me. – RTbecard May 02 '17 at 19:38

This is an error that occurs when you run out of space in /tmp/. /tmp/ is used to temporary store the extracted files. Increase it and it will install.

From the matlab forums.

Besides that: -tmpdir is an option that you can use with the .install command to have it use another directory.

the link does not have a solution – user274475 Apr 26 '14 at 15:29
you can reboot to auto clean /tmp/ and try to install again – Rafael Zottesso Mar 10 '17 at 18:57
