MATLAB Installation in Linux/Ubuntu:

Step 1: Download the installation file and Extract the file (Lets Extracted Folder = MATLAB)
Step 2: Go to MATLAB Folder using terminal: eg: suppose our extracted folder "MATLAB" is in Downloads Directory, the use this command: cd Downloads/MATLAB

Step 3: Run this to install: sudo ./install

Step 4: Follow the instructions, Matlab will be install in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a (directory by default).

Step 5: How to launch Matlab:
Method A:

Go to home directory and export the PATH is .bashrc file as:

gedit .bashrc &

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin

source ~/.bashrc

Method B:

Try navigating to bin folder in your Matlab installation directory:

cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin

Then execute Matlab from there:

./matlab

if that worked for you, you can create alias:

cd /usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/matlab matlab

This trick will allow you to launch matlab from any directory, as you were trying to do. Note that you should use sudo for the last command, since it creates alias globally, for all users.

If you are not in sudoers list (i.e. you cannot use sudo command), you can create alias locally. To do that, open .bashrc file, which is in your home directory:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Add the following line to the end of that file:

alias matlab="/usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/matlab"

Finally, reopen your terminal, or type source ~/.bashrc and execute this command.
