Matlab R2025b failed to lunch after installing on Debian 13 (Trixie)
I´ve tried to install Matlab R2025b on Debian 13. I could install it via this commands:
sudo unzip -XK matlab.zip -d matlab_install
cd matlab_install
sudo su
xhost +SI:localuser:root
sudo ./install
This mehod I´ve used for installing Matlab R2024b on Debian 12.
Matlab R2025b should support Debian 13 see here: https://de.mathworks.com/support/requirements/matlab-linux.html
Since no other older Matlab Version supports Debian 13 I had only the choice for Matlab R2025b.
The installation was fine, but when I lunch it from terminal via this command:
matlab
it opens the matlab porgramm looks like a normal start (left at the buttom of the matlab programm it says initializing…), but in a sudden it stops and printing this message:
Unable to communicate with required MathWorks services (error 5201)
For help with this issue, contact support:
https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html
Unable to launch MVM server: License Error: Licensing shutdown
When I search for an activation file like in the installed folder there isn´t anyone in /urs/local/MATLAB/R2025b/bin/glnxa64.
Has somebody managed to run matlab on Debian 13?
