The default installation path is/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b.

Sudo gedit/usr/share/applications/Matlab. desktop

Write the following content

[Desktop Entry]
Type = Application
Name = Matlab
GenericName = Matlab 2010b
Comment = Matlab: The Language of Technical Computing
Exec = sh/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/matlab-desktop
Icon =/usr/local/MATLAB .png
Terminal = false
Categories = Development; Matlab;

Image

 

Images are in png format and are transparent backgrounds. Linux does not support transparent backgrounds like Windows. It seems that any small image can be used as an icon.

In this way, you can find Matlab in the Office directory in the Application menu in the upper left corner.

You can also right-click the top bar and choose "add to panel", select "load program", and select Matlab under the Office directory. The shortcut of Matlab appears on the top bar!

Next time you start Matlab, you only need to click ~ Great!
