Install Matlab in linux
You need to have the unix version of Matlab dvd or dvd image to install it in linux mint.
Two different approaches are going to be adopted:

[Desktop Entry]Exec=/home/user/Matlab/bin/matlab -desktopIcon=/home/user/Matlab/X11/icons/matlab64c_icon.xpmType=ApplicationComment=Matrix LaboratoryName=MatlabCategories=Development;
user will be replaced by your user name. (must).
For Exec and Icon, the path should be correct i.e you must change "user" according to your path. (must).
in "Name= Matlab " you can change the name whatever you want.(optional).
in "GenericName" you can put whatever you want. you can cut off this line too.(optional).
save & exit the .desktop file.
a new entry named "Matlab" will be added in the menu under the programming section.
3. now go to menu->programming->Matlab.
Enjoy... your Matlab environment....
#2. installing in /usr/local directory:
if there are several users in a single pc & each of them has individual user accounts and need to use thesame application then it is required to install it in the directory indicated by default in matlab installationprocess i.e in /usr/loal
steps:
1. mount the iso (with furiusisomount). if you already have the contents of the iso copied elsewhere thenskip this step.
2. create a directory /home/user/matlab.(it's temporarilly, after installation this can be deleted.)
run in terminal (to create the directory):
mkdir /home/user/matlab
user=your user name.
copy the contents of the iso (archives, bin, etc, java, sys, install,.........) in your /home/user/matlab folder.
If you want to avoid copying, then mount the iso with this command:
sudo mount -o loop path_to_the_iso_file_matlabxxx.iso /mnt
then
cd /mnt

sudo ./install
now you can skip the next step(3) and after finishing the installation clear the mnt directory with sudo umount /mnt
3. run these commands in terminal:
sudo chmod 777 -R /home/user/matlab
cd /home/user/matlab
sudo ./install
here user=your user name.
4. now the installation gui will be run. go through the processes as, it is known how to install it from a gui(explained a little in section #1).
5. after installation run this code:
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6
this fixes a warning that libc.so.6 can not be found.
to run Matlab:
go to the /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/ directory and double click on matlab and 'select run interminal' or enter command in terminal:
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/matlab
or, to run from the menu, follow these steps:
1. in the terminal enter this code:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
2. copy paste the following lines into the newly opened .desktop file
[Desktop Entry]Exec=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/matlab -desktopIcon=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/X11/icons/matlab64c_icon.xpmType=Application
Comment=Matrix LaboratoryName=MatlabCategories=Development;
in "Name= Matlab " you can change the name whatever you want.(optional).
in "GenericName" you can put whatever you want. this line can be cut off too.(optional).
save & exit the .desktop file.
a new entry named "Matlab" will be added in the menu under the programming section.

the above process was tested on Matlab R2011b. other version should work too.

may be you didn't run the installer with sudo.you should run it with :sudo ./installcomplete method for you:
mount the iso with this commandsudo mount -o loop path_to_the_iso_file_matlabxxx.iso /mnt
then
cd /mnt
sudo ./installafter install finishes, unmount it withsudo umount /mnt
