How do I INSTALL R2013a Student on Yosemite

I'm having problems installing R2013a on OSX Yosemite.

• I uninstalled Matlab, then installed JDK 8u25.
• Downloaded Matlab.
• No dice...

Going forward:

• Looked at the published patches but they seem to obtain for already installed Matlab .
• If possible, I'm not into hacking any files with a text editor.

Is it true that student licenses don't get any technical support? Please pay some attention to student concerns!

Thanks

Answer 1

[Robert LiKamWa]

To install on Yosemite:

1) Check if you have Java SE 6 for x86_64.

From the Mac terminal, you can use this command to check:

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

If you don't have it, install it from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

2) After calling the "/usr/libexec/java_home -V", note the directory where Java SE 6 is located. Mine was "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home"

3) Find the install file from the Matlab installation directory. Drag it to your Terminal, insert a space, then type "-javadir", another space, then the directory where Java SE6 was. It should look something like this (on one line):

/Users/asdf/Desktop/mathworks_downloads/MATLAB2013/install -javadir /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

[Tom BP]

This was so helpful! Solved the problem right away, many thanks!

[Michael]

This worked for me! Thanks!

[Lukas Steindorf]

thank you soo much! works for R2012a as well

[David]

Thank you!

[riddhi desai]

it want work i have this java file also please help

[Walter Roberson]

riddhi desai, Mathworks offers free support for installation problems for all licenses (including Student licenses). Please contact Mathworks for assistance on this matter.

Answer 2

[Image Analyst]

Yes, student editions get free installation support.

Did you overlook the Yosemite link in the blue box at the top of this page?

[Eric Bryant]

(1) Wow, I'm surprised to hear this - but great!

(2) No, I'm asking about problems with * installation *. So the answer is - "Yes, I have." - but I can't patch an existing installation if it won't install.

If the answer is "it just doesn't work" this would be better to know.

[Image Analyst]

Then call them. I know , or at least I read , that students are getting things working, and you should be able to also.

Answer 3

[Miha]

Hello, I am having the same issue. Cannot get the Matlab R2013a student to install under Yosemite.

Did you find a solution?

[Eric Bryant]

No, apologies I haven't.

Answer 4

[Natalie]

I was having the same issue and I called [phone] for technical support from them, there is a recording and it will ask you which kind of help you are looking for. You can specifically choose to get help with installation and then it will transfer you to a person.

They were very helpful, asked me a few questions and then sent me an email with directions and guided me through the process while I was on the phone (it was probably 20 minutes maximum including download time). I would highly recommend calling if you are having installation issues.

After I was finally able to install it, the patch worked. Hopefully you guys can get MATLAB working too!

[Arno]

could you post the email here? that might save some time. Thanks!

[SHAMSUL FAISAL]

Yes, can you please post it here? Thank you very much

[Rachid Log]

Apple already solved the problem. 1)Update the OS X. 2)Install Java that apple provides from this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 3)Install the appropriate patch that Mathworks provides from this link: https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1098655

[Chase]

@Rachid Log. Thanks for the links. This fixed my (non student) version of Matlab also!

[QwErTy]

@Rachid Log. Thanks this worked for my 2013a Student version as well!
