I'm trying to install a downloaded version of matlab provided by my univ on linux

Hello there-

   I have been having difficulties installing MATLAB 64 bit on my ubuntu desktop machine. I downloaded the necessary files from school (as my internet connection at home is very terrible). 

   I put the 2013a folder onto the desktop and I extracted the matlab installer zip within that folder. 

    I go into the terminal and execute sudo ./install and it starts going through the installation process. However, if I choose to install with the ineternet connection- it doesn't see the necessary files already downloaded in the archives folder- so it starts to download again. If I sit through it- with my internet connection at home- this would take 12+ hrs. 

    If I choose to go through the installation without ineternet connection- I get past the activation stage- but then I get this "There are no products available to install from this location. You may need to download the appropriate products from our web-site (www.mathworks.com)" 

    Someone else seems to have had the same problem http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/87. However, when I move the necessary files from the archives into the installation folder (where ./install is located) I still have the same error messege. 

   Can someone please help me out?

This seems to be a question for the one, who have provided the files for you.
