Matlab -nojvm

I am using a MAC, and I have a problem starting up Matlab on terminal using the command "matlab -nojvm".
I get the following error:
matlab: Command not found.
Even I type "matlab" on terminal I get the same error.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,

Just curious if you mean -nojvm or -nodesktop? I cannot think why you would want the desktop without jvm (or even if it is possible).

Is the parent folder of the Matlab executable included in the PATH?
You can put a symbolic link to the Matlab binary in your path:
sudo ln -s /Applications/MATLAB_R<xyz>.app/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin
Or include the folder in the PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/matlab
or use the full path in the call:
$ /path/to/matlab

After my comment in a related question, I probably shouldn't be asking this, but do Macs have /usr/local/bin and is it automatically on the path?

The accepted answer was close, but not right.
The correct code:
/Applications/MATLAB_R<yyyya|b>.app/bin/matlab -nojvm
Note: You can only use Matlab in Terminal when using -nojvm. Also, "a|b" means a or b depending on your version.
To close MATLAB after using "-nojvm":
exit
Bonus: You can make terminal give all uses (and their definitions) for "/Applications/MATLAB_R<yyyya|b>.app/bin/matlab" with
/Applications/MATLAB_R2020b.app/bin/matlab -help
