Having trouble with installing matlab-support package

Here is my problem, I tried installing matlab-support for linux using "sudo apt install matlab-support" . It all went well until it reached the point where it asked me to input my installation directory. I typed in my directory at which point the program said it wasn't able to find any matlab instalations in that directory. The directory in question is a custom location since, I wasn't able to install it in the default location because it wasn't able to create a folder in the default location. Is there a way to fix this issue? I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as my OS

Have you checked with file explorer/terminal that the MATLAB folder does indeed exist in that directory? Do you know why you weren't able to create a folder in the default location (was this you or the MATLAB installer)?

In any case, if you want to install MATLAB I'd always recommend setting up the installation directory first and foremost using mkdir -p /usr/local/MATLAB/R20XXx and then running the install script with sudo. You can also sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/MATLAB to be on the safe side.
