21Sep2020 install

installation of MatLab is the worst of any software that I've know.  What a complete fuck-up of arcance, non-working language!

run the matlab version-specific install using sudo : 
$ sudo /home/bill/MatLab/matlab_R2020a_glnxa64/install

I don't think that I needed to download all files separately - this was done by the installer!!!???
STUPID FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Linux
With R2014a and later, any MAC address can serve as the host ID regardless of the interface name. If the interfaces are enumerated, use the lowest-enumerated interface.

You can also run the following command if you don't have net-tools installed:
ip addr | grep ether

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth1
eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.11.23  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.11.255
        inet6 fe80::d267:e5ff:feee:a185  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether d0:67:e5:ee:a1:85  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 376758  bytes 346266525 (330.2 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 280346  bytes 26103565 (24.8 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 17  

$ ip addr | grep ether
    link/ether 00:10:18:5c:bf:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    link/ether d0:67:e5:ee:a1:85 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The MAC Address is usually the value listed next to "HWaddr". If your Linux distribution does not have network interfaces which follow the enX or ethX naming scheme, you will either need to update to MATLAB R2014a or later, or change the name of your interfaces so MATLAB can detect them. Consult your distribution's documentation for instructions on changing the network interface naming scheme.
