Ubuntu linux installation ./install fails

45 views (last 30 days)
So I did the command in the pdf of install -inputfile installer_input.txt when I didn't change the name of the installer input, then I ran into the problem of bash not knowing what install was so I did ./install, but when I did that permissions was rejected and when I did sudo ./install it said it couldn't find install again. and when I wrote out the full path of install in the matlab installation folder it still failed
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ ./install
-bash: ./install: Permission denied
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ sudo ./install -inputfile installer_input.txt
[sudo] password for adlab:
sudo: ./install: command not found
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ sudo ./install
sudo: ./install: command not found
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ ./install
-bash: ./install: Permission denied
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ sudo ./install
sudo: ./install: command not found
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$ sudo /usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans/install -inputfile installer_input.txt
sudo: /usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans/install: command not found
xxxxx@localhost:/usr/matlabfiles/matlab_R2018a_glnxa64_trans$
Edit: thanks walter:sudo sh ./install -inputfile installer_input.txt -mode silent

I got the below
[sudo] password for adlab:
Preparing installation files ...
Installing ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Installation cannot proceed. You may either:
1. Set an X11 display, and restart the install process
2. Use the silent install feature by specifying the -mode silent option
