Hello,
I don't know what is the name of executable file in matlab, but maybe you should try this: - Open terminal and type there matlab then press [tab]... If you will have lucky, system will find any software which name is like matlab* Or just type: $matlab & ...if you have lots of lucky :P |
yeah i typed matlab in terminal and pressed tab.it showed a matlab and it was only one.but when i tried to execute it,it said command not found.
and for matlab & the output was [1] 10786 command not found |
Well, you'll need to locate the matlab launcher first and then create a link to $HOME/bin.
|
can u tel me how to find a launcher file..

sorry to say Matlab at least the one I found is a non-free program. Since i do not have the money to buy all the programs to trouble shoot I would go to there linux turtorial and check it out. pluss read the install or read me file that came with it. I you have a open source matlab then tell me the clone name so I can try it out. so cd to the directory were the program is matlab and type it this way ./matlab ./<----- if it come back and says

I am sorry all theses question can be ansewerd by google or your man files in linux. theses things need to be read and learned please forgive me I do not want to sound rude but this is the sole basics of linux. open a terminal and type man chmod then when you read that. then you can in a gui environment learn to right click the file then left click properties then look at permissions.

I agree. things like changing directories are basic stuff. You really won't have much fun if you cannot figure out how to do it. I can only recommend that you install rutebook and doc-central from System > Admin > Synaptic and direct your browser to http://localhost/dc to read the rutebook manual.
