I just bought MatLab last night, and I'm having issues installing it. Whenever i try to open the InstallForOSX.app, a space opens on the dock as if the app is trying to open, but then it immediately disappears. Additionally, when I try opening the install exec file, i get the following:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried older versions of MatLab, installing the newest version of Java, repairing disk permissions and nothing has worked.
I'm on a 2003 Macbook Pro Retina running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

I do not know why clicking on the install app does not work.
To install manually you will need to sudo .
sudo /Users/Stephen/Desktop/matlab_R2015b_maci64/install
