I've successfully installed and activated MATLAB, but I don't know how to open it. I cannot find an icon to access the program. What am I dong wrong?

Here is the equivalent link for Linux users, though what worked for me was running
whereis MATLAB
to remember where I ordered MATLAB to be installed. Turned out to be on "usr/local/MATLAB", so to run the program I had to issue
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b/bin/matlab
on my terminal. If your system did not create a shortcut for that, I recommend you do so unless you really like typing.
P.S.: Some Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu come with a "matlab-support" package which "configures an existing MATLAB installation to integrate more comfortably in a Debian installation". If you install that package, MATLAB should immediately show up in your desktop applications list.
