This is how I installed matlab student (SV14) R14 7.1. This version of matlab requires you to have the cd to launch the application. So it does not require a license file configuration.

You need to have java configured in your system to use GUI installer.

1. If the cdrom is automounted then unmount
as root (assuming that /media/cdrom is the mount point for cdrom)

Code:
umount /media/cdrom

2. Mount using
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

3. logout of root (we will use root access using gksu for the GUI). As a user run
Code:
gksu ./media/cdrom/unix/install -t
Then follow instructions. Let it create the simlinks in a folder that is in the PATH.

4. To get a shortcut create a launcher using the command
Code:
matlab -desktop
This will launch the application without a command window.

Thats it ! Enjoy matlab
