ubuntu install matlab problem

Could not complete Activation because the License File could not be written to disk. You might not have write permission on the License File or the folder. /home/linyulin/licenses/license_ubuntu_161051_R2010a.lic See your System Administrator for assistance. The specific error message text is:

/home/linyulin/licenses/ license_ubuntu_161051_R2010a.lic (Permission denied).

On Linux you get this error because you don't have permissions for the license folder(也就是没有写权限). An easy way to get past this is by launching the activation script with sudo:

cd $MATLAB/R20***/bin/
sudo ./activate_matlab.sh

($MATLAB/R20*** is your root MATLAB installation folder)
