Download

Mathworks_Matlab_R2010a_UNIX_ISO-TBE.5454218.TPB.torrent

Install

Extract or mount downloaded file, go to extracted folder and run:
$ ./install
Do as guide in crack/install.txt
Select path (ex: /opt/matlab2010)

Create start file and desktop icon

Because on my system the license server is not auto start so I have to create a script that start license server before start matlab, I called it runmatlab.sh and put it at bin folder in my matlab install path (/opt/matlab2010/bin/runmatlab.sh)

#!/bin/bash

not_running="$(/opt/matlab2010/etc/lmstat | grep -i 'not running')"
if [[ not_running ]]; then
/opt/matlab2010/etc/lmstart
fi 

/opt/matlab2010/bin/matlab -desktop

Then you can create start icon on your desktop by create matlab.desktop file with contents as below on your desktop

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
