Broken thoughts:

~~(I know I have been pigeonholed for two months, but I have saved a lot of manuscripts and have not sent them)~~

Hello everyone, since the computing resources of MATLAB are not provided in the server of the laboratory ( ~~it turns out that I do not know QAQ~~ ), a non-graphical MATLAB is installed in Ubuntu.

By referring to the ideas of other bloggers and using the genuine resources provided by T University, a lot of pitfalls were stepped in the middle, and finally a non-graphical installation process was realized.

PS Recently, I am learning to record some technical explanation videos, friends who like it can watch it! (Kneel orz) Kirito99's Personal Space-Kirito99 Personal Homepage-哔哩哔哩Video

1 Environment introduction

My server system is Ubuntu for Linux and has no non-graphical interface.

The version installed is the R2021a Linux version of MATLAB and is started using a non-graphical interface.

The following describes the installation process in detail~

2 Linux installation MATLAB

2.1 Download the corresponding MATLAB version

If you are a student of T University, you can directly download the corresponding Linux version from the school website, or you can find a suitable installation package on the Internet.

If it is installed to the server, you can use xftp to upload the file to the cd ~ directory.

Or you can directly use the U disk locally.

At the same time, the network.lic file should be uploaded synchronously and placed in the same directory.

For T students, you can find it in this place of the website:

After opening, it contains the following content, which contains the required lic file.

Upload network.lic to the root directory as well:

At the same time, you need to save the MATLAB installation serial number. The T-big one is in the sn.txt file and will be used later.

2.2 Server configuration

Use SSH to connect to the server (local Linux can be ignored), and then enter the command line operation

Update the software repository: apt-get update

Install sudo: apt-get install sudo

升级apt-get：sudo apt-get upgrade

Note that this step is relatively slow (5-10min)

Keep the old version, choose 2:

Enter: sudo apt-get install build-essential

Enter: sudo apt-get install yum

Choose Y

Check whether yum is installed successfully, enter yum

The following appears to indicate success

Install decompression software: sudo apt install p7zip-full p7zip-rar

Enter Y:

Install the x11 library: sudo apt-get install -y libx11-dev

Install the library: sudo apt-get install xorg-dev

Enter Y

So far, some configuration of the server environment has been completed, and then MATLAB can be installed!

2.3 MATLAB installation

Enter the root directory: cd ~

View files: ls

Create a new matlab folder: mkdir matlab

Extract the ISO file to the matlab directory: 7z x R2021a_Linux.iso -o./matlab

View the unzipped file

Enter the directory: cd matlab/

View files: ls

If the above content appears, it proves that the decompression is successful.

Go back to the root directory: cd ~

Create the installation directory: mkdir ~/Matlab_R2021a

Create an installation configuration file: touch ~/installer_input.txt

Edit configuration file: vim ~/installer_input.txt

Enter i to enter edit mode

Enter the following in it:

## Set the desired value for outputFile and
## uncomment the line.

outputFile=/root/matlab_install.log 

##
## Enable Login Named User licensing
##
## Set to Yes to enable use of a Login Named User license for all users of this MATLAB installation
## Users must log in to their MathWorks Account when MATLAB starts.
##
## Example: enableLNU=yes
##
## NOTE: This flag is valid in silent installations only.

# enableLNU=yes

##
## IMPROVE MATLAB
##
## Improve MATLAB by sending user experience information to MathWorks.

## automatically be created.
##
## If you want a MATLAB Startup Accelerator task to be created,
## do not edit this section.

You need to pay attention to modifying it to the corresponding installation serial number (T students can find the serial number corresponding to their version in sn.txt)~

After the input is complete, click Esc to exit the editor
