Unix/Linux
i) Create the directory where Matlab will be installed (e.g. /usr/local/matlab704).

Known Issues
- If Matlab does not start and a license error is reported, check if the license files have
their permissions set to: -rw-r--r--. In other words, the user running the license
manager must have reading permission over the license files.
