Would you like to retry downloading 3p/icu_glnxa64_1501194834.enc? If you press No, the installer will exit without completing the installation.

I'm on fedora 27 and ran the ./install file with

 sudo matlab

A portion of the logs (see /tmp/mathworks_root.log) is as below:

I've read elsewhere that you can disable your antivirus and it works like charm. However I'm running fedora and there is no antivirus software to disable.

How can I proceed with Matlab installation?

PS: I ran the GUI with sudo and saved at the default folder location. I'm running Fedora 28 OS and matlab version is 2017b.
